The Lord is the Nations’ Only Hope

45:14This is what the Lord says:

“The profit38 of Egypt and the revenue39 of Ethiopia,

along with the Sabeans, those tall men,

will be brought to you40 and become yours.

They will walk behind you, coming along in chains.41

They will bow down to you

and pray to you:42

‘Truly God is with43 you; he has no peer;44

there is no other God!’ ”

there is no other god.’ ”

There is no other.’ ”
