Isaiah 44:28–45:6

²⁸That saith of ^oCyrus, He is my shepherd,

And shall perform ^pall my pleasure:

Even saying ^qto Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built;

And to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

45Thus saith the Lord to ^ahis anointed, to Cyrus,

Whose ^bright hand I ^||have holden,

^cTo subdue nations before him;

And ^dI will loose the loins of kings,

To open before him the two leaved gates;

And the gates shall not be shut;

²I will go before thee,

And ^emake the crooked places straight:

^fI will break in pieces the gates of brass,

^fAnd cut in sunder the bars of iron:

³And I will give thee ^gthe treasures of darkness,

And ^hhidden riches of secret places,

That thou mayest know that I, the Lord, ⁱwhich call thee ^kby thy name, am ^lthe God of Israel.

⁴For ^mJacob my servant’s sake, and ^mIsrael mine elect,

I have even ⁱcalled thee ^kby thy name:

I have ⁿsurnamed thee, though thou hast ^onot known me.

^5pI am the Lord, and ^pthere is none else,

There is no God beside me:

^qI girded thee, ^othough thou hast not known me:

^6rThat they may know ^sfrom the rising of the sun, and from the west,

That ^pthere is none beside me.

^pI am the Lord, and there is none else.
