Yesaya 45:14
Konteks45:14 This is what the Lord says:
“The profit 1 of Egypt and the revenue 2 of Ethiopia,
along with the Sabeans, those tall men,
will be brought to you 3 and become yours.
They will walk behind you, coming along in chains. 4
They will bow down to you
and pray to you: 5
‘Truly God is with 6 you; he has no peer; 7
there is no other God!’”
Yesaya 60:14
Konteks60:14 The children of your oppressors will come bowing to you;
all who treated you with disrespect will bow down at your feet.
They will call you, ‘The City of the Lord,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.’ 8
Yesaya 61:6
Konteks61:6 You will be called, ‘the Lord’s priests,
servants of our God.’ 9
You will enjoy 10 the wealth of nations
and boast about 11 the riches you receive from them. 12
Yesaya 61:9
Konteks61:9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,
their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will recognize that
the Lord has blessed them.” 13
