Isaiah 45:1-13

1Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388, to subdueH7286 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605 the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605 beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 shall not be shutH5462;1 2I will goH3212 beforeH6440 thee, and makeH3474 the crooked placesH1921 straightH3474: I will break in piecesH7665 the gatesH1817 of brassH5154, and cut in sunderH1438 the barsH1280 of ironH1270: 3And I will giveH5414 thee the treasuresH214 of darknessH2822, and hidden richesH4301 of secret placesH4565, that thou mayest knowH3045 that I, YhwhH3068, which callH7121 thee by thy nameH8034, am the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 4For JacobH3290 my servant’sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine electH972, I have even calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamedH3655 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me.

5I am YhwhH3068, and there is none else, there is no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me: 6That they may knowH3045 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121, and from the westH4628, that there is noneH657 besideH1107 me. I am YhwhH3068, and there is none else. 7I formH3335 the lightH216, and createH1254 darknessH2822: I makeH6213 peaceH7965, and createH1254 evilH7451: I YhwhH3068 doH6213 all these things. 8Drop downH7491, ye heavensH8064, from aboveH4605, and let the skiesH7834 pour downH5140 righteousnessH6664: let the earthH776 openH6605, and let them bring forthH6509 salvationH3468, and let righteousnessH6666 spring upH6779 togetherH3162; I YhwhH3068 have createdH1254 it. 9WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378 with his MakerH3335! Let the potsherdH2789 strive with the potsherdsH2789 of the earthH127. Shall the clayH2563 sayH559 to him that fashionethH3335 it, What makestH6213 thou? or thy workH6467, He hath no handsH3027? 10WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559 unto his fatherH1, What begettestH3205 thou? or to the womanH802, What hast thou brought forthH2342? 11Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and his MakerH3335, AskH7592 me of things to comeH857 concerning my sonsH1121, and concerning the workH6467 of my handsH3027 commandH6680 ye me. 12I have madeH6213 the earthH776, and createdH1254 manH120 upon it: I, even my handsH3027, have stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064, and all their hostH6635 have I commandedH6680. 13I have raised him upH5782 in righteousnessH6664, and I will directH3474 all his waysH1870: he shall buildH1129 my cityH5892, and he shall let goH7971 my captivesH1546, not for priceH4242 nor rewardH7810, saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635.2
