1ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 to 1CyrusH3566 His anointedH4899, WhomH834 I have takenH2388 by the rightH3225 2handH3225, To 3subdueH7286 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him And 4to 5looseH6605 the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428; To openH6605 doorsH1817 beforeH6440 him so that gatesH8179 will not be shutH5462:2“I will goH1980 beforeH6440 you and 6makeH3474 the 7roughH1921 placesH1921 smoothH3474; I will 8shatterH7665 the doorsH1817 of bronzeH5154 and cutH1438 throughH1438 their ironH1270 9barsH1280.3I will giveH5414 you the 1011treasuresH214 of darknessH2822 And hiddenH4301 wealthH4301 of secretH4565 placesH4565, So that you may knowH3045 that it is I, The LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who 12callsH7121 you by your nameH8034.4For the sakeH4616 of 13JacobH3290 My servantH5650, And IsraelH3478 My chosenH972 one, I have also 14calledH7121 you by your nameH8034; I have givenH3655 you a titleH3655 of honorH3655 Though you have 15not knownH3045 Me.5I am the LordH3068, and 16thereH369 is noH369 otherH5750; 17BesidesH2108 Me thereH369 is noH369 GodH430. I will 1819girdH247 you, though you have not knownH3045 Me;6That 2021men may knowH3045 from the risingH4217 to the settingH4628 of the sunH8121 That there is 22noH657 oneH657 besidesH1107 Me. I am the LordH3068, and thereH369 is noH369 otherH5750,7The One 23formingH3335 lightH216 and 24creatingH1254 darknessH2822, CausingH6213 25well-beingH7965 and 26creatingH1254 calamityH7451; I am the LordH3068 who doesH6213 allH3605 theseH428.

8“27DripH7491 downH7491, O heavensH8064, from aboveH4605, And let the cloudsH7834 pourH5140 downH5140 righteousnessH6664; Let the 28earthH776 openH6605 up and salvationH3468 bearH6509 fruitH6509, 29And righteousnessH6666 springH6779 up with it. I, the LordH3068, have createdH1254 it.

9“WoeH1945 to the one who 30quarrelsH7378 with his 31MakerH3335-- An earthenwareH2789 vesselH2789 32amongH854 the vesselsH2789 of earthH127! Will the 33clayH2563 sayH559 to the 34potterH3335, ‘WhatH4100 are you doingH6213?’ Or the thingH6467 you are makingH6467 say, ‘He hasH369 noH369 handsH3027’?10WoeH1945 to him who saysH559 to a fatherH1, ‘WhatH4100 are you begettingH3205?’ Or to a womanH802, ‘To whatH4100 are you 35givingH2342 birthH2342?’”

11ThusH3541 saysH559 the 36LordH3068, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and his 3738MakerH3335: “3940AskH7592 Me aboutH5921 the thingsH857 to comeH857 41concerningH5921 My 42sonsH1121, And you shall commitH6680 to Me 43the workH6467 of My handsH3027.12It is I who 44madeH6213 the earthH776, and createdH1254 manH120 upon it. I 45stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064 with My handsH3027 And I 46ordainedH6680 47allH3605 their hostH6635.13I have arousedH5782 him in 48righteousnessH6664 And I will 49makeH3474 allH3605 his waysH1870 smoothH3474; He will 50buildH1129 My cityH5892 and will letH7971 My exilesH1546 goH7971 51freeH7971, WithoutH3808 any paymentH4242 or rewardH7810,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.
