10 How terrible it will be for the child who says to his father,‘Why are you giving me life?’How terrible it will be for the child who says to his mother,‘Why are you giving birth to me?’”
11 The Lord is the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker.He says this:“You ask me about what will happen.You question me about my children.You give me orders about what I have made.
12 I made the earth.And I made all the people living on it.With my own hands I stretched out the skies.I command all the armies in the sky.
13 I will bring Cyrus to do good things.And I will make his work easy.Cyrus will rebuild my city,and he will set my people free.Cyrus has not been paid to do these things.The Lord of heaven’s armies says this.”
14 The Lord says,“The things made in Egypt and Cushand the tall people of Sebawill come to you.They will become yours.The Sabeans will walk behind you.They will come along in chains.They will bow down before you.They will pray to you, saying,‘God is with you.And there is no other God.’”
15 You are a God that people cannot see.You are the God and Savior of Israel.
16 All the people who make idols will be put to great shame.They will go off together in disgrace.
