45THUS SAYS the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him, and I will unarm {and} ungird the loins of kings to open doors before him, so that gates will not be shut.H559H3068H4899H3566H3225H2388H7286H1471H6440H6605H4975H4428H6605H6440H1817H8179H5462 2I will go before you and level the mountains [to make the crooked places straight]; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron.H3212H6440H3474H1921H3474H3474H7665H1817H5154H1438H1280H1270 3And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name.H5414H214H2822H4301H4565H3045H3068H7121H8034H430H3478 4For the sake of Jacob My servant, and of Israel My chosen, I have called you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known Me.H3290H5650H3478H972H7121H8034H3655H3045 5I am the Lord, and there is no one else; there is no God besides Me. I will gird {and} arm you, though you have not known Me,H3068H430H2108H247H3045 6That men may know from the east {and} the rising of the sun and from the west {and} the setting of the sun that there is no God besides Me. I am the Lord, and no one else [is He].H3045H4217H8121H4628H657H1107H3068 7I form the light and create darkness, I make peace [national well-being] and I create [physical] evil (calamity); I am the Lord, Who does all these things.H3335H216H1254H2822H6213H7965H1254H7451H3068H6213 8Let fall in showers, you heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness [the pure, spiritual, heaven-born possibilities that have their foundation in the holy being of God]; let the earth open, and let them [skies and earth] sprout forth salvation, and let righteousness germinate {and} spring up [as plants do] together; I the Lord have created it.H7491H8064H4605H7834H5140H6664H776H6605H6509H3468H6666H6779H3162H3068H1254 9Woe to him who strives with his Maker!--a worthless piece of broken pottery among other pieces equally worthless [and yet presuming to strive with his Maker]! Shall the clay say to him who fashions it, What do you think you are making? or, Your work has no handles?H1945H7378H3335H2789H2789H127H2563H559H3335H6213H6467H3027 10Woe to him [who complains against his parents that they have begotten him] who says to a father, What are you begetting? or to a woman, With what are you in travail?H1945H559H1H3205H802H2342 11Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Would you question Me about things to come concerning My children, and concerning the work of My hands [would you] command Me?H559H3068H6918H3478H3335H7592H857H1121H6467H3027H6680 12I made the earth and created man upon it. I, with My hands, stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.H6213H776H1254H120H3027H5186H8064H6635H6680 13I will raise [Cyrus] up in righteousness [willing in every way that which is right and proper], and I will direct all his ways; he will build My city, and he will let My captives go, not for hire or for a bribe, says the Lord of hosts.H5782H6664H3474H1870H1129H5892H7971H1546H4242H7810H559H3068H6635 14Thus says the Lord: The labor {and} wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you and they shall be yours; they shall follow you; in chains [of subjection to you] they shall come over, and they shall fall down before you; they shall make supplication to you, saying, Surely God is with you, and there is no other, no God besides Him.H559H3068H3018H4714H5505H3568H5436H582H4060H5674H3212H310H2131H5674H7812H6419H410H657H430 15Truly You are a God Who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.H403H410H5641H430H3478H3467 16They shall be put to shame, yes, confounded, all of them; they who are makers of idols shall go off into confusion together.H954H3637H1980H3639H3162H2796H6736 17But Israel shall be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity.H3478H3467H3068H5769H8668H954H3637H5769H5703 18For thus says the Lord--Who created the heavens, God Himself, Who formed the earth and made it, Who established it and did not create it to be a worthless waste; He formed it to be inhabited--I am the Lord, and there is no one else.H559H3068H1254H8064H430H3335H776H6213H3559H1254H8414H3335H3427H3068 19I have not spoken in secret, in a corner of the land of darkness; I did not call the descendants of Jacob [to a fruitless service], saying, Seek Me for nothing [but I promised them a just reward]. I, the Lord, speak righteousness (the truth--trustworthy, straightforward correspondence between deeds and words); I declare things that are right.H1696H5643H2822H4725H776H559H2233H3290H1245H8414H3068H1696H6664H5046H4339 20Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge who carry about [in religious processions or into battle] their wooden idols and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.H6908H935H5066H3162H6412H1471H3045H5375H6086H6459H6419H410H3467 21Declare and bring forward your strong arguments [for praying to gods that cannot save]; yes, take counsel together. Who announced this [the rise of Cyrus and his conquests] beforehand (long ago)? [What god] declared it of old? Was it not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, a rigidly {and} uncompromisingly just {and} righteous God and Savior; there is none besides Me.H5046H5066H3289H3162H8085H6924H5046H3068H430H1107H6662H410H3467H369H2108 22Look to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.H6437H3467H657H776H410 23I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness and shall not return, that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear [allegiance].H7650H1697H3318H6310H6666H7725H1290H3766H3956H7650 24Only in the Lord shall one say, I have righteousness (salvation and victory) and strength [to achieve]. To Him shall all come who were incensed against Him, and they shall be ashamed.H559H3068H6666H5797H935H2734H954 25In the Lord shall all the offspring of Israel be justified (enjoy righteousness, salvation, and victory) and shall glory.H3068H2233H3478H6663H1984
