Isaiah 45:4–7

4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,

of Israel my chosen,

I summon you by name

and bestow on you a title of honor,

though you do not acknowledge me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;

apart from me there is no God.

I will strengthen you,

though you have not acknowledged me,

6 so that from the rising of the sun

to the place of its setting

people may know there is none besides me.

I am the Lord, and there is no other.

7 I form the light and create darkness,

I bring prosperity and create disaster;

I, the Lord, do all these things.

4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect,

I have even called thee by thy name:

I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else,

There is no God beside me:

I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,

That there is none beside me.

I am the Lord, and there is none else.

7 I form the light, and create darkness:

I make peace, and create evil:

I the Lord do all these things.

4 “And why have I called you for this work?

Why did I call you by name when you did not know me?

It is for the sake of Jacob my servant,

Israel my chosen one.

5 I am the Lord;

there is no other God.

I have equipped you for battle,

though you don’t even know me,

6 so all the world from east to west

will know there is no other God.

I am the Lord, and there is no other.

7 I create the light and make the darkness.

I send good times and bad times.

I, the Lord, am the one who does these things.

4 For 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.

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;

There is no God besides Me.

I will gird you, though you have not known Me, 6 That 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;

7 I form the light and create darkness,

I make peace and create calamity;

I, the Lord, do all these things.’

4 I do these things for my servants, the people of Jacob,

and for my chosen people, the Israelites.

Cyrus, I call you by name,

and I give you a title of honor even though you don’t know me.

5 I am the Lord. There is no other God;

I am the only God.

I will make you strong,

even though you don’t know me,

6 so that everyone will know

there is no other God.

From the east to the west they will know

I alone am the Lord.

7 I made the light and the darkness.

I bring peace, and I cause troubles.

I, the Lord, do all these things.

4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. 5 I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me; 6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.

4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have called thee by thy name; I surnamed thee, though thou didst not know me;

5 I am Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me; 6 —that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I am Jehovah, and there is none else; 7 forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.

4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, 

Israel, my chosen one, 

I have called you by name. 

I have given you a title of honor, although you don’t know me. 

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other. 

There is no other God besides me. 

I will strengthen you, although you don’t know me, 

6 so that from the east to the west people will know 

that there is no God except me. 

I am the Lord, and there is no other. 

7 I make light and create darkness. 

I make blessings and create disasters. 

I, the Lord, do all these things. 

4 I call you by your name,

because of Jacob My servant

and Israel My chosen one.

I give a name to you,

though you do not know Me.

5 I am Yahweh, and there is no other;

there is no God but Me.

I will strengthen you,

though you do not know Me,

6 so that all may know from the rising of the sun to its setting

that there is no one but Me.

I am Yahweh, and there is no other.

7 I form light and create darkness,

I make success and create disaster;

I, Yahweh, do all these things.

4 For the sake of my servant Jacob

and Israel my chosen,

I call you by your name;

I give you a title, though you do not know me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;

besides me there is no god.

I arm you, though you do not know me,

6 so that they may know, from the rising of the sun

and from the west, that there is no one besides me;

I am the Lord, and there is no other.

7 I form light and create darkness,

I make weal and create woe;

I the Lord do all these things.

4 for the sake of my servant Jacob,

and Israel my chosen one.

And I call you by your name;

I give you a name of honor, though you do not know me.

5 I am Yahweh, and there is none besides me;

besides me there is no god.

I gird you though you do not know me,

6 so that they may know from the rising of the sun

and from the west that there is none besides me;

I am Yahweh and there is none besides me.

7 I form light and I create darkness;

I make peace and I create evil;

I am Yahweh; I do all these things.

4 Cyrus, I am sending for you by name.

I am doing it for the good of the family of Jacob.

They are my servants.

I am doing it for Israel.

They are my chosen people.

You do not know anything about me.

But I am giving you a title of honor.

5 I am the Lord. There is no other Lord.

I am the one and only God.

You do not know anything about me.

But I will make you strong.

6 Then people will know there is no God but me.

Everyone from where the sun rises in the east

to where it sets in the west will know it.

I am the Lord.

There is no other Lord.

7 I cause light to shine. I also create darkness.

I bring good times. I also create hard times.

I do all of those things. I am the Lord.

4 “For the sake of Jacob My servant,

And Israel My chosen one,

I have also called you by your name;

I have given you a title of honor

Though you have not known Me.

5 “I am the Lord, and there is no other;

Besides Me there is no God.

I will gird you, though you have not known Me;

6 That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun

That there is no one besides Me.

I am the Lord, and there is no other,

7 The One forming light and creating darkness,

Causing well-being and creating calamity;

I am the Lord who does all these.
