    and the tall men of Seba will be your slaves;
    they will follow you in chains.
They will bow down to you and confess,
    ‘God is with you—he alone is God.
¹⁵The God of Israel, who saves his people,
    is a God who conceals himself.
¹⁶Those who make idols will all be ashamed;
    all of them will be disgraced.
