Isaiah 45:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 Thus says the Lord:
The earnings of Egypt, the gain of Ethiopia,
and the Sabeans,[a] tall of stature,
Shall come over to you and belong to you;
they shall follow you, coming in chains.
Before you they shall bow down,
saying in prayer:
“With you alone is God; and there is none other,
no other god!(A)
15 Truly with you God is hidden,[b]
the God of Israel, the savior!(B)
16 They are put to shame and disgrace, all of them;
they go in disgrace who carve images.
Footnotes
- 45:14 Egypt…Ethiopia…Sabeans: the Egyptians and their allies who, when conquered by Cyrus, are seen as acknowledging the God of Israel; cf. 43:3.
- 45:15 God is hidden: i.e., the one known only to Israel, who cannot be represented by wooden or molten images. The concept of the “Deus absconditus,” “the hidden God,” becomes an important theme in later theology.
