Cyrus, God’s Instrument

45"Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut:H559H3068H4899H3566H3225H2388H7286H1471H6440H6605H4975H4428H6605H6440H1817H8179H5462 2'I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron.H3212H6440H3474H1921H3474H3474H7665H1817H5154H1438H1280H1270 3I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.H5414H214H2822H4301H4565H3045H3068H7121H8034H430H3478 4For Jacob My servant's sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.H3290H5650H3478H972H7121H8034H3655H3045 5I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me,H3068H430H2108H247H3045 6That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;H3045H4217H8121H4628H657H1107H3068 7I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.'H3335H216H1254H2822H6213H7965H1254H7451H3068H6213 8"Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the LORD, have created it.H7491H8064H4605H7834H5140H6664H776H6605H6509H3468H6666H6779H3162H3068H1254 9"Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?' Or shall your handiwork say, 'He has no hands'?H1945H7378H3335H2789H2789H127H2563H559H3335H6213H6467H3027 10Woe to him who says to his father, 'What are you begetting?' Or to the woman, 'What have you brought forth?'"H1945H559H1H3205H802H2342 11Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.H559H3068H6918H3478H3335H7592H857H1121H6467H3027H6680 12I have made the earth, And created man on it. I—My hands—stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.H6213H776H1254H120H3027H5186H8064H6635H6680 13I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward," Says the LORD of hosts.H5782H6664H3474H1870H1129H5892H7971H1546H4242H7810H559H3068H6635

The Lord, the Only Savior

14Thus says the LORD: "The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush And of the Sabeans, men of stature, Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours; They shall walk behind you, They shall come over in chains; And they shall bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying, 'Surely God is in you, And there is no other; There is no other God.'"H559H3068H3018H4714H5505H3568H5436H582H4060H5674H3212H310H2131H5674H7812H6419H410H657H430 15Truly You are God, who hide Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior!H403H410H5641H430H3478H3467 16They shall be ashamed And also disgraced, all of them; They shall go in confusion together, Who are makers of idols.H954H3637H1980H3639H3162H2796H6736 17But Israel shall be saved by the LORD With an everlasting salvation; You shall not be ashamed or disgraced Forever and ever.H3478H3467H3068H5769H8668H954H3637H5769H5703 18For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and there is no other.H559H3068H1254H8064H430H3335H776H6213H3559H1254H8414H3335H3427H3068 19I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, 'Seek Me in vain'; I, the LORD, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.H1696H5643H2822H4725H776H559H2233H3290H1245H8414H3068H1696H6664H5046H4339 20"Assemble yourselves and come; Draw near together, You who have escaped from the nations. They have no knowledge, Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray to a god that cannot save.H6908H935H5066H3162H6412H1471H3045H5375H6086H6459H6419H410H3467 21Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the LORD? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior; There is none besides Me.H5046H5066H3289H3162H8085H6924H5046H3068H430H1107H6662H410H3467H369H2108 22"Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.H6437H3467H657H776H410 23I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath.H7650H1697H3318H6310H6666H7725H1290H3766H3956H7650 24He shall say, 'Surely in the LORD I have righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come, And all shall be ashamed Who are incensed against Him.H559H3068H6666H5797H935H2734H954 25In the LORD all the descendants of Israel Shall be justified, and shall glory.'"H3068H2233H3478H6663H1984
