[1] Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
[2] “I will go before you
and make the rough places smooth.
I will break the doors of bronze in pieces
and cut apart the bars of iron.
[3] I will give you the treasures of darkness
and hidden riches of secret places,
that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who calls you by your name,
even the God of Israel.
[4] For Jacob my servant’s sake,
and Israel my chosen,
I have called you by your name.
I have given you a title,
though you have not known me.
[5] I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
Besides me, there is no God.
I will strengthen§ you,
though you have not known me,
[6] that they may know from the rising of the sun,
and from the west,
that there is no one besides me.
I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
[7] I form the light
and create darkness.
I make peace
and create calamity.
I am Yahweh,
who does all these things.
[8] Rain, you heavens, from above,
and let the skies pour down righteousness.
Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation,
and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it.
I, Yahweh, have created it.
[9] Woe to him who strives with his Maker—
a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth!
Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’
or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
[10] Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’
or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
[11] Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel
and his Maker says:
“You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons,
and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
[12] I have made the earth, and created man on it.
I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens.
I have commanded all their army.
[13] I have raised him up in righteousness,
and I will make all his ways straight.
He shall build my city,
and he shall let my exiles go free,
not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.
[14] Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt,
and the merchandise of Ethiopia,
and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you,
and they will be yours.
They will go after you.
They shall come over in chains.
They will bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you:
‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else.
There is no other god.
[15] Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself,
God of Israel, the Savior.’”
[16] They will be disappointed,
yes, confounded, all of them.
Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
[17] Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation.
You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
[18] For Yahweh who created the heavens,
the God who formed the earth and made it,
who established it and didn’t create it a waste,
who formed it to be inhabited says:
“I am Yahweh.
There is no other.
[19] I have not spoken in secret,
in a place of the land of darkness.
I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’
I, Yahweh, speak righteousness.
I declare things that are right.
[20] “Assemble yourselves and come.
Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations.
Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image,
and pray to a god that can’t save.
[21] Declare and present it.
Yes, let them take counsel together.
Who has shown this from ancient time?
Who has declared it of old?
Haven’t I, Yahweh?
There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior.
There is no one besides me.
[22] “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
[23] I have sworn by myself.
The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked,
that to me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall take an oath.
[24] They will say of me,
‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’”
Even to him will men come.
All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
[25] All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh,
and will rejoice!

The Call of Cyrus

[1] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 to his anointed, H4899 to Cyrus, H3566 whose H834 right hand H3225 I have holden, H2388§ to subdue H7286 nations H1471 before H6440 him; and I will loose H6605 the loins H4975 of kings, H4428 to open H6605 before H6440 him the two leaved gates; H1817 and the gates H8179 shall H5462 not H3808 be shut; H5462
[2] I will go H3212 before H6440 thee, and make H3474 the crooked places H1921 straight: H3474 H3474 I will break in pieces H7665 the gates H1817 of brass, H5154 and cut in sunder H1438 the bars H1280 of iron: H1270 [3] and I will give H5414 thee the treasures H214 of darkness, H2822 and hidden riches H4301 of secret places, H4565 that thou mayest know H3045 that I, the Lord, H3068 which call H7121 thee by thy name, H8034 am the God H430 of Israel. H3478 [4] For Jacob H3290 my servant’s H5650 sake, and Israel H3478 mine elect, H972 I have even called H7121 thee by thy name: H8034 I have surnamed H3655 thee, though thou hast not known H3045 me. [5] I am the Lord, H3068 and there is none else, there is no God H430 beside H2108 me: I girded H247 thee, though thou hast not known H3045 me: [6] that they may know H3045 from the rising H4217 of the sun, H8121 and from the west, H4628 that there is none H657 beside H1107 me. I am the Lord, H3068 and there is none else. [7] I form H3335 the light, H216 and create H1254 darkness: H2822 I make H6213 peace, H7965 and create H1254 evil: H7451 I the Lord H3068 do H6213 all these things. [8] Drop down, H7491 ye heavens, H8064 from above, H4605 and let the skies H7834 pour down H5140 righteousness: H6664 let the earth H776 open, H6605 and let them bring forth H6509 salvation, H3468 and let righteousness H6666 spring up H6779 together; H3162 I the Lord H3068 have created H1254 it. [9] Woe H1945 unto him that striveth H7378 with H854 his Maker! H3335 Let the potsherd H2789 strive with the potsherds H2789 of the earth. H127 Shall the clay H2563 say H559 to him that fashioneth H3335 it, What makest H6213 thou? or thy work, H6467 He hath no hands? H3027 [10] Woe H1945 unto him that saith H559 unto his father, H1 What H4100 begettest H3205 thou? or to the woman, H802 What H4100 hast thou brought forth? H2342 [11] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord, H3068 the Holy One H6918 of Israel, H3478 and his Maker, H3335 Ask H7592 me of things to come H857 concerning H5921 my sons, H1121 and concerning the work H6467 of my hands H3027 command H6680 ye me. [12] I have made H6213 the earth, H776 and created H1254 man H120 upon it: I, even my hands, H3027 have stretched out H5186 the heavens, H8064 and all their host H6635 have I commanded. H6680 [13] I have raised him up H5782 in righteousness, H6664 and I will direct H3474§ all H3605 his ways: H1870 he shall build H1129 my city, H5892 and he shall let go H7971 my captives, H1546 not H3808 for price H4242 nor reward, H7810 saith H559 the Lord H3068 of hosts. H6635 [14] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord, H3068 The labour H3018 of Egypt, H4714 and merchandise H5505 of Ethiopia H3568 and of the Sabeans, H5436 men H582 of stature, H4060 shall come over H5674 unto H413 thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come H3212 after H310 thee; in chains H2131 they shall come over, H5674 and they shall fall down H7812 unto H413 thee, they shall make supplication H6419 unto thee, saying, Surely God H410 is in thee; and there is none else, there is no H657 God. H430 [15] Verily H403 thou art a God H410 that hidest H5641 thyself, O God H430 of Israel, H3478 the Saviour. H3467 [16] They shall be ashamed, H954 and also confounded, H3637 all H3605 of them: they shall go H1980 to confusion H3639 together H3162 that are makers H2796 of idols. H6736 [17] But Israel H3478 shall be saved H3467 in the Lord H3068 with an everlasting H5769 salvation: H8668 ye shall H954 not H3808 be ashamed H954 nor confounded H3637 world H5769 without end. H5703 [18] For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 that created H1254 the heavens; H8064 God H430 himself that formed H3335 the earth H776 and made H6213 it; he hath established H3559 it, he created H1254 it not in vain, H8414 he formed H3335 it to be inhabited: H3427 I am the Lord; H3068 and there is none else. [19] I have H1696 not H3808 spoken H1696 in secret, H5643 in a dark H2822 place H4725 of the earth: H776 I said H559 not H3808 unto the seed H2233 of Jacob, H3290 Seek H1245 ye me in vain: H8414 I the Lord H3068 speak H1696 righteousness, H6664 I declare H5046 things that are right. H4339 [20] Assemble H6908 yourselves and come; H935 draw near H5066 together, H3162 ye that are escaped H6412 of the nations: H1471 they have no knowledge H3045 that set up H5375 H853 the wood H6086 of their graven image, H6459 and pray H6419 unto H413 a god H410 that cannot save. H3467 [21] Tell H5046 ye, and bring them near; H5066 yea, let them take counsel H3289 together: H3162 who hath declared H8085 this H2063 from ancient time? H6924 who hath told H5046 it from that time? have not I the Lord? H3068 and there is no God H430 else beside H1107 me; a just H6662 God H410 and a Saviour; H3467 there is none H369 beside H2108 me. [22] Look H6437 unto H413 me, and be ye saved, H3467 all H3605 the ends H657 of the earth: H776 for I am God, H410 and there is none else. [23] I have sworn H7650 by myself, the word H1697 is gone out H3318 of my mouth H6310 in righteousness, H6666 and shall not return, H7725 That unto me every knee H1290 shall bow, H3766 every H3605 tongue H3956 shall swear. H7650 [24] Surely, shall one say, H559 in the Lord H3068 have I righteousness H6666 and strength: H5797§ even to him shall men come; H935 and all that are incensed H2734 against him shall be ashamed. H954 [25] In the Lord H3068 shall all the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 be justified, H6663 and shall glory. H1984

G4982 [21] Εἰ G1487 ἀναγγελοῦσιν, G312 ἐγγισάτωσαν, G1448 ἵνα G2443 γνῶσιν G1097 ἅμα G260 τίς G5101 ἀκουστὰ ἐποίησεν G4160 ταῦτα G5023 ἀπ’ G575 ἀρχῆς.
