10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come
concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 I
have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have
stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I
have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he
shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor
reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
14 Thus saith the Lord,
The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans,
men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they
shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall
fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying,
Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus saith the Lord
that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made
it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to
be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
