45:1 Thus
says
the
LORD
to
his
anointed,
to
Cyrus,
whose
right
hand
I
have
grasped,
to
subdue
nations
before
him
and
to
loose
the
belts
of
kings,
to
open
doors
before
him
that
gates
may
not
be
closed:
45:2 "I
will
go
before
you
and
level
the
exalted
places,
I
will
break
in
pieces
the
doors
of
bronze
and
cut
through
the
bars
of
iron,
45:3 I
will
give
you
the
treasures
of
darkness
and
the
hoards
in
secret
places,
that
you
may
know
that
it
is
I,
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
who
call
you
by
your
name.
45:4 For
the
sake
of
my
servant
Jacob,
and
Israel
my
chosen,
I
call
you
by
your
name,
I
name
you,
though
you
do
not
know
me.
45:5 I
am
the
LORD,
and
there
is
no
other,
besides
me
there
is
no
God;
I
equip
you,
though
you
do
not
know
me,
45:6 that
people
may
know,
from
the
rising
of
the
sun
and
from
the
west,
that
there
is
none
besides
me;
I
am
the
LORD,
and
there
is
no
other.
45:7 I
form
light
and
create
darkness,
I
make
well-being
and
create
calamity,
I
am
the
LORD,
who
does
all
these
things.
45:8 "Shower,
O
heavens,
from
above,
and
let
the
clouds
rain
down
righteousness;
let
the
earth
open,
that
salvation
and
righteousness
may
bear
fruit;
let
the
earth
cause
them
both
to
sprout;
I
the
LORD
have
created
it.
45:9 "Woe
to
him
who
strives
with
him
who
formed
him,
a
pot
among
earthen
pots!
Does
the
clay
say
to
him
who
forms
it,
'What
are
you
making'
or
'Your
work
has
no
handles'
45:10 Woe
to
him
who
says
to
a
father,
'What
are
you
begetting'
or
to
a
woman,
'With
what
are
you
in
labor'"
45:11 Thus
says
the
LORD,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
and
the
one
who
formed
him:
"Ask
me
of
things
to
come;
will
you
command
me
concerning
my
children
and
the
work
of
my
hands
45:12 I
made
the
earth
and
created
man
on
it;
it
was
my
hands
that
stretched
out
the
heavens,
and
I
commanded
all
their
host.
45:13 I
have
stirred
him
up
in
righteousness,
and
I
will
make
all
his
ways
level;
he
shall
build
my
city
and
set
my
exiles
free,
not
for
price
or
reward,"
says
the
LORD
of
hosts.
45:14 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"The
wealth
of
Egypt
and
the
merchandise
of
Cush,
and
the
Sabeans,
men
of
stature,
shall
come
over
to
you
and
be
yours;
they
shall
follow
you;
they
shall
come
over
in
chains
and
bow
down
to
you.
They
will
plead
with
you,
saying:
'Surely
God
is
in
you,
and
there
is
no
other,
no
god
besides
him.'"
45:15 Truly,
you
are
a
God
who
hides
himself,
O
God
of
Israel,
the
Savior.
45:16 All
of
them
are
put
to
shame
and
confounded;
the
makers
of
idols
go
in
confusion
together.
45:17 But
Israel
is
saved
by
the
LORD
with
everlasting
salvation;
you
shall
not
be
put
to
shame
or
confounded
to
all
eternity.
45:18 For
thus
says
the
LORD,
who
created
the
heavens
(he
is
God!),
who
formed
the
earth
and
made
it
(he
established
it;
he
did
not
create
it
empty,
he
formed
it
to
be
inhabited!):
"I
am
the
LORD,
and
there
is
no
other.
45:19 I
did
not
speak
in
secret,
in
a
land
of
darkness;
I
did
not
say
to
the
offspring
of
Jacob,
'Seek
me
in
vain.'
I
the
LORD
speak
the
truth;
I
declare
what
is
right.
45:20 "Assemble
yourselves
and
come;
draw
near
together,
you
survivors
of
the
nations!
They
have
no
knowledge
who
carry
about
their
wooden
idols,
and
keep
on
praying
to
a
god
that
cannot
save.
45:21 Declare
and
present
your
case;
let
them
take
counsel
together!
Who
told
this
long
ago
Who
declared
it
of
old
Was
it
not
I,
the
LORD
And
there
is
no
other
god
besides
me,
a
righteous
God
and
a
Savior;
there
is
none
besides
me.
45:22 "Turn
to
me
and
be
saved,
all
the
ends
of
the
earth!
For
I
am
God,
and
there
is
no
other.
45:23 By
myself
I
have
sworn;
from
my
mouth
has
gone
out
in
righteousness
a
word
that
shall
not
return:
'To
me
every
knee
shall
bow,
every
tongue
shall
swear
allegiance.'
45:24 "Only
in
the
LORD,
it
shall
be
said
of
me,
are
righteousness
and
strength;
to
him
shall
come
and
be
ashamed
all
who
were
incensed
against
him.
45:25 In
the
LORD
all
the
offspring
of
Israel
shall
be
justified
and
shall
glory."
