13 I will bring Cyrus to do good things,
    and I will make his work easy.
He will rebuild my city
    and set my people free
without any payment or reward.
    The Lord All-Powerful says this.”

14 The Lord says,
“The goods made in Egypt and Cush
    and the tall people of Seba
will come to you
    and will become yours.
The Sabeans will walk behind you,
    coming along in chains.
They will bow down before you
    and pray to you, saying,
‘God is with you,
    and there is no other God.’”

15 God and Savior of Israel,
    you are a God that people cannot see.

13 I will raise up Cyrus[a](A) in my righteousness:
    I will make all his ways straight.(B)
He will rebuild my city(C)
    and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,(D)
    says the Lord Almighty.”

14 This is what the Lord says:

“The products(E) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[b]
    and those tall Sabeans(F)
they will come over to you(G)
    and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(H)
    coming over to you in chains.(I)
They will bow down before you
    and plead(J) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(K) and there is no other;
    there is no other god.(L)’”

15 Truly you are a God who has been hiding(M) himself,
    the God and Savior(N) of Israel.
