Isaiah 45:13

Cyrus, God's Instrument

¹² I made the earth, and man upon it I created: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and all their army I commanded. ¹³ I mused him up in justice, and I will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall send away my captivity, not by price and not by a gift, said Jehovah of armies. ¹⁴ This said Jehovah, The labor of Egypt and the gain of Cush, and of the Sabeans, men of measure, shall pass over upon thee, and to thee shall they be: after thee shall they come in fetters: they shall pass over and to thee shall they worship and supplicate to thee, Surely God is in thee, and none yet: no God.
