[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!
[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,

[1] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 to his anointed,H4899 to Cyrus,H3566 whose right handH3225 I have holden,H2388(HiphPerf) to subdueH7286(QalInf) nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605(PielImpf) the loinsH4975 of kings,H4428 to openH6605(QalInf) beforeH6440 him the two leaved gates;H1817 and the gatesH8179 shall not be shut;H5462(NiphImpf) [2] I will goH3212(QalImpf) beforeH6440 thee, and makeH3474 the crooked placesH1921(QalPasPtc) straight:H3474(PielImpf/Qere) I will break in piecesH7665(PielImpf) the gatesH1817 of brass,H5154 and cut in sunderH1438(PielImpf) the barsH1280 of iron:H1270 [3] And I will giveH5414(QalPerf) thee the treasuresH214 of darkness,H2822 and hidden richesH4301 of secret places,H4565 that thou mayest knowH3045(QalImpf) that I, the Lord,H3068 which callH7121(QalActPtc) [thee] by thy name,H8034 [am] the GodH430 of Israel.H3478 [4] For JacobH3290 my servant’sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine elect,H972 I have even calledH7121(QalImpf) thee by thy name:H8034 I have surnamedH3655(PielImpf) thee, though thou hast not knownH3045(QalPerf) me. [5] I [am] the Lord,H3068 and [there is] none else, [there is] no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247(PielImpf) thee, though thou hast not knownH3045(QalPerf) me: [6] That they may knowH3045(QalImpf) from the risingH4217 of the sun,H8121 and from the west,H4628 that [there is] noneH657 besideH1107 me. I [am] the Lord,H3068 and [there is] none else. [7] I formH3335(QalActPtc) the light,H216 and createH1254(QalActPtc) darkness:H2822 I makeH6213(QalActPtc) peace,H7965 and createH1254(QalActPtc) evil:H7451 I the LordH3068 doH6213(QalActPtc) all these [things]. [8] Drop down,H7491(HiphImpv) ye heavens,H8064 from above,H4605 and let the skiesH7834 pour downH5140(QalImpf) righteousness:H6664 let the earthH776 open,H6605(QalImpf) and let them bring forthH6509(QalImpf) salvation,H3468 and let righteousnessH6666 spring upH6779(HiphImpf) together;H3162 I the LordH3068 have createdH1254(QalPerf) it. [9] WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378(QalPtc) with his Maker!H3335(QalActPtc) [Let] the potsherdH2789 [strive] with the potsherdsH2789 of the earth.H127 Shall the clayH2563 sayH559(QalImpf) to him that fashionethH3335(QalActPtc) it, What makestH6213(QalImpf) thou? or thy work,H6467 He hath no hands?H3027 [10] WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559(QalActPtc) unto [his] father,H1 What begettestH3205(HiphImpf) thou? or to the woman,H802 What hast thou brought forth?H2342(QalImpf) [11] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 the Holy OneH6918 of Israel,H3478 and his Maker,H3335(QalActPtc) AskH7592(QalImpv) me of things to comeH857(QalActPtc) concerning my sons,H1121 and concerning the workH6467 of my handsH3027 commandH6680(PielImpf) ye me. [12] I have madeH6213(QalPerf) the earth,H776 and createdH1254(QalPerf) manH120 upon it: I, [even] my hands,H3027 have stretched outH5186(QalPerf) the heavens,H8064 and all their hostH6635 have I commanded.H6680(PielPerf) [13] I have raised him upH5782(HiphPerf) in righteousness,H6664 and I will directH3474(PielImpf) all his ways:H1870 he shall buildH1129(QalImpf) my city,H5892 and he shall let goH7971(PielImpf) my captives,H1546 not for priceH4242 nor reward,H7810 saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 of hosts.H6635 [14] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 The labourH3018 of Egypt,H4714 and merchandiseH5505 of EthiopiaH3568 and of the Sabeans,H5436 menH582 of stature,H4060 shall come overH5674(QalImpf) unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall comeH3212(QalImpf) afterH310 thee; in chainsH2131 they shall come over,H5674(QalImpf) and they shall fall downH7812(HithImpf) unto thee, they shall make supplicationH6419(HithImpf) unto thee, [saying], Surely GodH410 [is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] noH657 God.H430 [15] VerilyH403 thou [art] a GodH410 that hidestH5641(HithPtc) thyself, O GodH430 of Israel,H3478 the Saviour.H3467(HiphPtc) [16] They shall be ashamed,H954(QalPerf) and also confounded,H3637(NiphPerf) all of them: they shall goH1980(QalPerf) to confusionH3639 togetherH3162 [that are] makersH2796 of idols.H6736 [17] [But] IsraelH3478 shall be savedH3467(NiphPerf) in the LordH3068 with an everlastingH5769 salvation:H8668 ye shall not be ashamedH954(QalImpf) nor confoundedH3637(NiphImpf) worldH5769 without end.H5703 [18] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 that createdH1254(QalActPtc) the heavens;H8064 GodH430 himself that formedH3335(QalActPtc) the earthH776 and madeH6213(QalActPtc) it; he hath establishedH3559(PolePerf) it, he createdH1254(QalPerf) it not in vain,H8414 he formedH3335(QalPerf) it to be inhabited:H3427(QalInf) I [am] the Lord;H3068 and [there is] none else. [19] I have not spokenH1696(PielPerf) in secret,H5643 in a darkH2822 placeH4725 of the earth:H776 I saidH559(QalPerf) not unto the seedH2233 of Jacob,H3290 SeekH1245(PielImpv) ye me in vain:H8414 I the LordH3068 speakH1696(QalActPtc) righteousness,H6664 I declareH5046(HiphPtc) things that are right.H4339 [20] AssembleH6908(NiphImpv) yourselves and come;H935(QalImpv) draw nearH5066(HithImpv) together,H3162 ye [that are] escapedH6412 of the nations:H1471 they have no knowledgeH3045(QalPerf) that set upH5375(QalActPtc) the woodH6086 of their graven image,H6459 and prayH6419(HithPtc) unto a godH410 [that] cannot save.H3467(HiphImpf) [21] TellH5046(HiphImpv) ye, and bring [them] near;H5066(HiphImpv) yea, let them take counselH3289(NiphImpf) together:H3162 who hath declaredH8085(HiphPerf) this from ancient time?H6924 [who] hath toldH5046(HiphPerf) it from that time? [have] not I the Lord?H3068 and [there is] no GodH430 else besideH1107 me; a justH6662 GodH410 and a Saviour;H3467(HiphPtc) [there is] noneH369 besideH2108 me. [22] LookH6437(QalImpv) unto me, and be ye saved,H3467(NiphImpv) all the endsH657 of the earth:H776 for I [am] God,H410 and [there is] none else.
