Isaiah 45:14-19

This is what YAHWEH says to Cyrus: “Egypt’s wealth, Cush’s treasures, and the tall Sabeans will all be handed over to you. In chains they will walk behind you. They will be brought before you and they will bow down and address you reverently, saying, ‘Truly God is with you. He alone is God, and there is no other.’ ” Truly, O God of Israel, the Savior, you are a God who hides himself. All the idol-makers will be ashamed and disgraced, and each one will walk away in confusion. But YAHWEH saves Israel with everlasting salvation! You will not be put to shame nor disgraced for all eternity! This is what YAHWEH says, heaven’s Creator, who alone is God. He created the earth, shaped it, and established it all by himself. He made it fit and orderly and beautiful for its inhabitants. He says: “I am YAHWEH, and there is no other god. I didn’t whisper in secret, in a realm of darkness. I didn’t say to Jacob’s tribes, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I am YAHWEH! I speak the truth and declare to you what is right!
