“By my strong hand I have accomplished this,
by my strategy that I devised.
I invaded the territory of nations,
and looted their storehouses.
Like a mighty conqueror,
29:23 For when they see their children,
whom I will produce among them,
they will honor
They will honor the Holy One of Jacob;
they will respect
45:11 This is what the Lord says,
the Holy One of Israel,
concerning things to come:
“How dare you question me
How dare you tell me what to do with
45:12 I made the earth,
I created the people who live
It was me – my hands
I give orders to all the heavenly lights.
51:16 I commission you
I cover you with the palm of my hand,
to establish
to say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
65:2 I spread out my hands all day long
to my rebellious people,
who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable,
and who did what they desired.
