I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 45 of Isaiah. Cyrus is called Yahweh’s anointed and receives authority to open doors and subdue nations, even though he may not personally know the God who uses him. The choice of a foreign ruler emphasizes divine sovereignty over empires. The ultimate purpose is not to glorify Cyrus, but to show that there is no God besides Yahweh.

Ich habe die Erde gemacht und den Menschen darauf geschaffen. Ich bin's, dessen Hände den Himmel ausgebreitet haben, und habe allem seinem Heer geboten.

Yo hice la tierra y creé al ser humano sobre ella. Yo, con mis manos, extendí los cielos y di órdenes a todo su ejército.
C'est moi qui ai fait la terre, Et qui sur elle ai créé l'homme; C'est moi, ce sont mes mains qui ont déployé les cieux, Et c'est moi qui ai disposé toute leur armée.
Io ho fatta la terra, ed ho creati gli uomini che sono sopra essa; le mie mani hanno distesi i cieli, ed io ho dati gli ordini a tutto il loro esercito.
Eu fiz a terra, e criei nela o homem; eu o fiz; as minhas mãos estenderam os céus, e a todos os seus exércitos dei as minhas ordens.
我造大地,又創造人在地上。 我親手鋪張諸天, 天上萬象也是我所任命的。
