Isaiah 45:5

God's power and sovereignty Strength and help in weakness

³ And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

⁴ For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

⁶ That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

⁷ I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

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