14 The Lord says to the people of Jerusalem,

“You will get everything Egypt produces.
    You will receive everything the people of Cush
and the tall Sabeans get in trade.
    All of it will belong to you.
And all these people will walk behind you as slaves.
    They will be put in chains and come over to you.
They will bow down to you.
    They will admit,
‘God is with you.
    There is no other God.’ ”

15 You are a God who has been hiding yourself.
    You are the God of Israel. You save us.
16 All those who make statues of gods will be put to shame.
    They will be dishonored.
    They will be led away in shame together.

14 This is what the Lord says:

“The products(A) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[a]
    and those tall Sabeans(B)
they will come over to you(C)
    and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(D)
    coming over to you in chains.(E)
They will bow down before you
    and plead(F) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(G) and there is no other;
    there is no other god.(H)’”

15 Truly you are a God who has been hiding(I) himself,
    the God and Savior(J) of Israel.
16 All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced;(K)
    they will go off into disgrace together.
