“I raised children, I brought them up,

but they have rebelled against me!

The Lord Empowers Cyrus

“I am the Lord, who made everything,

who alone stretched out the sky,

who fashioned the earth all by myself,

Isaiah 45:8

Let the clouds send down showers of deliverance!

and deliverance may sprout up along with it.

I, the Lord, create it.

I created the people who live on it.

It was me – my hands stretched out the sky,

I give orders to all the heavenly lights.

47:13 You are tired out from listening to so much advice.

Let them take their stand –

who gaze at the stars,

who make monthly predictions –

let them rescue you from the disaster that is about to overtake you!

49:13 Shout for joy, O sky!

Rejoice, O earth!

Let the mountains give a joyful shout!

For the Lord consoles his people

and shows compassion to the oppressed.

to establish the sky and to found the earth,

to say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”

65:17 For look, I am ready to create

new heavens and a new earth!

no one will think about them anymore.
