I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.

The verse 13 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 ihn erweckt in Gerechtigkeit, und alle seine Wege will ich eben machen. Er soll meine Stadt bauen und meine Gefangenen loslassen, nicht um Geld noch um Geschenke, spricht der HERR Zebaoth.
Yo lo desperté en justicia, y enderezaré todos sus caminos; él edificará mi ciudad, y soltará mis cautivos, no por precio ni por dones, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
C'est moi qui ai suscité Cyrus dans ma justice, Et j'aplanirai toutes ses voies; Il rebâtira ma ville, et libérera mes captifs, Sans rançon ni présents, Dit l'Eternel des armées.
Io ho suscitato quell’uomo in giustizia, e addirizzerò tutte le sue imprese; egli riedificherà la mia città, e rimanderà il mio popolo, che sarà stato in cattività, senza prezzo, e senza presente, ha detto il Signor degli eserciti.
Eu o despertei em justiça, e todos os seus caminhos endireitarei; ele edificará a minha cidade, e soltará os meus cativos, não por preço nem por presente, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos.
我憑公義興起 居魯士 , 又要修直他一切的道路。 他必建造我的城, 釋放我被擄的民, 不為工價,也不為獎賞。」 這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
