Isaiah 45:1-7

1ThusH3541 saith Jehovah to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose rightH3225 handH3225 I have holden, to subdue nationsH1471 before him, and I will loose the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428; to open the doorsH1817 before him, and the gatesH8179 shall not be shutH5462: 2I will go before thee, and makeH3474 the rough places smoothH3474; I will breakH7665 in pieces the doorsH1817 of brass, and cutH1438 in sunder the barsH1280 of ironH1270; 3and I will giveH5414 thee the treasuresH214 of darknessH2822, and hidden riches of secretH4565 placesH4565, that thou mayest knowH3045 that it is I, Jehovah, who callH7121 thee by thy nameH8034, even the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 4For JacobH3290 my servant’sH5650 sakeH4616, and IsraelH3478 my chosen, I have calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me. 5I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides me there is no GodH430. I will girdH247 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me; 6that they may knowH3045 from the rising of the sunH8121, and from the westH4628, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. 7I form the lightH216, and createH1254 darknessH2822; I makeH6213 peaceH7965, and createH1254 evilH7451; I am Jehovah, that doeth all these thingsH428.
