I will strengthen{or, equip} you, though you have not known me; 045:006 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. 045:007 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things. 045:008 Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it. 045:009 Woe to him who strives with his Maker--a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, 'What are you making?' or your work, 'He has no hands?' 045:010 Woe to him who says to a father, 'What have you become the father of?' or to a mother, 'To what have you given birth?'" 045:011 Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands! 045:012 I have made the earth, and created man on it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their army have I commanded. 045:013 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward, says Yahweh of Armies. 045:014 Thus says Yahweh: "The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours.
