Isaiah 45:5

God's power and sovereignty Strength and help in weakness

³ I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.

⁴ For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.

I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,

⁶ so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

⁷ I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
