[1]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388[H8689], to subdueH7286[H8800] nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605[H8762] the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605[H8800] beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 H5462shall not be shutH8735
[2]I will goH3212[H8799] beforeH6440 thee, and makeH3474 the crooked placesH1921[H8803] straightH3474[H8762][H8675][H3474][H8686]: I will break in piecesH7665[H8762] the gatesH1817 of brassH5154, and cut in sunderH1438[H8762] the barsH1280 of ironH1270:
[3]And I will giveH5414[H8804] thee the treasuresH214 of darknessH2822, and hidden richesH4301 of secret placesH4565, that thou mayest knowH3045[H8799] that I, the LORDH3068, which callH7121[H8802] thee by thy nameH8034, am the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
[4]For JacobH3290 my servant'sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine electH972, I have even calledH7121[H8799] thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamedH3655[H8762] thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 meH8804.
[5]I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else, there is no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247[H8762] thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 meH8804:
[6]That they may knowH3045[H8799] from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121, and from the westH4628, that there is noneH657 besideH1107 me. I am the LORD, and there is none elseH3068.
[7]I formH3335[H8802] the lightH216, and createH1254[H8802] darknessH2822: I makeH6213[H8802] peaceH7965, and createH1254[H8802] evilH7451: I the LORDH3068 doH6213 all these thingsH8802.
[8]Drop downH7491[H8685], ye heavensH8064, from aboveH4605, and let the skiesH7834 pour downH5140[H8799] righteousnessH6664: let the earthH776 openH6605[H8799], and let them bring forthH6509[H8799] salvationH3468, and let righteousnessH6666 spring upH6779[H8686] togetherH3162; I the LORDH3068 have createdH1254 itH8804.
[9]WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378[H8801] with his MakerH3335[H8802]! Let the potsherdH2789 strive with the potsherdsH2789 of the earthH127. Shall the clayH2563 sayH559[H8799] to him that fashionethH3335[H8802] it, What makestH6213[H8799] thou? or thy workH6467, He hath no handsH3027?
[10]WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559[H8802] unto his fatherH1, What begettestH3205[H8686] thou? or to the womanH802, What hast thou brought forthH2342?[H8799]
[11]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and his MakerH3335[H8802], AskH7592[H8798] me of things to comeH857[H8802] concerning my sonsH1121, and concerning the workH6467 of my handsH3027 commandH6680 ye meH8762.
[12]I have madeH6213[H8804] the earthH776, and createdH1254[H8804] manH120 upon it: I, even my handsH3027, have stretched outH5186[H8804] the heavensH8064, and all their hostH6635 have I commandedH6680.[H8765]
[13]I have raised him upH5782[H8689] in righteousnessH6664, and I will directH3474[H8762] all his waysH1870: he shall buildH1129[H8799] my cityH5892, and he shall let goH7971[H8762] my captivesH1546, not for priceH4242 nor rewardH7810, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[14]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, The labourH3018 of EgyptH4714, and merchandiseH5505 of EthiopiaH3568 and of the SabeansH5436, menH582 of statureH4060, shall come overH5674[H8799] unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall comeH3212[H8799] afterH310 thee; in chainsH2131 they shall come overH5674[H8799], and they shall fall downH7812[H8691] unto thee, they shall make supplicationH6419[H8691] unto thee, saying, Surely GodH410 is in thee; and there is none else, there is noH657 GodH430.
[15]VerilyH403 thou art a GodH410 that hidestH5641[H8693] thyself, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, the SaviourH3467.[H8688]
[16]They shall be ashamedH954[H8804], and also confoundedH3637[H8738], all of them: they shall goH1980[H8804] to confusionH3639 togetherH3162 that are makersH2796 of idolsH6736.
[17]But IsraelH3478 shall be savedH3467[H8738] in the LORDH3068 with an everlastingH5769 salvationH8668: ye shall not be ashamedH954[H8799] nor confoundedH3637[H8735] worldH5769 without endH5703.
[18]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 that createdH1254[H8802] the heavensH8064; GodH430 himself that formedH3335[H8802] the earthH776 and madeH6213[H8802] it; he hath establishedH3559[H8790] it, he createdH1254[H8804] it not in vainH8414, he formedH3335[H8804] it to be inhabitedH3427[H8800]: I am the LORD; and there is none elseH3068.
[19]I have not spokenH1696[H8765] in secretH5643, in a darkH2822 placeH4725 of the earthH776: I saidH559[H8804] not unto the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, SeekH1245[H8761] ye me in vainH8414: I the LORDH3068 speakH1696[H8802] righteousnessH6664, I declareH5046[H8688] things that are rightH4339.
[20]AssembleH6908[H8734] yourselves and comeH935[H8798]; draw nearH5066[H8690] togetherH3162, ye that are escapedH6412 of the nationsH1471: they have no knowledgeH3045[H8804] that set upH5375[H8802] the woodH6086 of their graven imageH6459, and prayH6419[H8693] unto a godH410 that cannot saveH3467.[H8686]
[21]TellH5046[H8685] ye, and bring them nearH5066[H8685]; yea, let them take counselH3289[H8735] togetherH3162: who hath declaredH8085[H8689] this from ancient timeH6924? who hath toldH5046[H8689] it from that time? have not I the LORDH3068? and there is no GodH430 else besideH1107 me; a justH6662 GodH410 and a SaviourH3467[H8688]; there is noneH369 beside meH2108.
[22]LookH6437[H8798] unto me, and be ye savedH3467[H8734], all the endsH657 of the earthH776: for I am God, and there is none elseH410.
[23]I have swornH7650[H8738] by myself, the wordH1697 is gone outH3318[H8804] of my mouthH6310 in righteousnessH6666, and shall not returnH7725[H8799], That unto me every kneeH1290 shall bowH3766[H8799], every tongueH3956 shall swearH7650.[H8735]
[24]Surely, shall one sayH559[H8804], in the LORDH3068 have I righteousnessH6666 and strengthH5797: even to him shall men comeH935[H8799]; and all that are incensedH2734[H8737] against him shall be ashamedH954.[H8799]
[25]In the LORDH3068 shall all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 be justifiedH6663[H8799], and shall gloryH1984.[H8691]
