Isaiah 45

1Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 to his anointed^H4899, to Cyrus^H3566, whose 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 the doors^H1817 before^H6440 him, and the gates^H1817 shall not be shut^H5462: 2I will go^H3212 before^H6440 thee, and make^H3474 the rough places^H1921 smooth^H3474; I will break in pieces^H7665 the doors^H1817 of brass^H5154, and cut in sunder^H1438 the bars^H1280 of iron^H1270; 3and 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 it is I, Jehovah^H3068, who call^H7121 thee by thy name^H8034, even the God^H430 of Israel^H3478. 4For Jacob^H3290 my servant's^H5650 sake, and Israel^H3478 my chosen^H972, I have called^H7121 thee by thy name^H8034: I have surnamed^H3655 thee, though thou hast not known^H3045 me. 5I am Jehovah^H3068, and there is none else; besides^H2108 me there is no God^H430. I will gird^H247 thee, though thou hast not known^H3045 me; 6that they may know^H3045 from the rising^H4217 of the sun^H8121, and from the west^H4628, that there is none^H657 besides^H1107 me: I am Jehovah^H3068, and there is none else. 7I form^H3335 the light^H216, and create^H1254 darkness^H2822; I make^H6213 peace^H7965, and create^H1254 evil^H7451. I am Jehovah^H3068, that doeth^H6213 all these things. 8Distil^H7491, ye heavens^H8064, from above^H4605, and let the skies^H7834 pour down^H5140 righteousness^H6664: let the earth^H776 open^H6605, that it may bring forth^H6509 salvation^H3468, and let it cause righteousness^H6666 to spring up^H6779 together^H3162; I, Jehovah^H3068, have created^H1254 it. 9Woe^H1945 unto him that striveth^H7378 with his Maker^H3335! a potsherd^H2789 among 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? 10Woe^H1945 unto him that saith^H559 unto a father^H1, What begettest^H3205 thou? or to a woman^H802, With what travailest^H2342 thou? 11Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, the Holy One^H6918 of Israel^H3478, and his Maker^H3335: Ask^H7592 me of the things that are to come^H857; concerning my sons^H1121, and concerning the work^H6467 of my hands^H3027, command^H6680 ye me. 12I 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. 13I have raised him up^H5782 in righteousness^H6664, and I will make straight^H3474 all his ways^H1870: he shall build^H1129 my city^H5892, and he shall let my exiles^H1546 go^H7971 free, not for price^H4242 nor reward^H7810, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 14Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, The labor^H3018 of Egypt^H4714, and the merchandise^H5505 of Ethiopia^H3568, and the Sabeans^H5436, men^H582 of stature^H4060, shall come over^H5674 unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall go^H3212 after^H310 thee, in chains^H2131 they shall come over^H5674; and they shall fall down^H7812 unto 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. 15Verily^H403 thou art a God^H410 that hidest^H5641 thyself, O God^H430 of Israel^H3478, the Saviour^H3467. 16They shall be put to shame^H3637, yea, confounded^H954, all of them; they shall go^H1980 into confusion^H3639 together^H3162 that are makers^H2796 of idols^H6736. 17 But Israel^H3478 shall be saved^H3467 by Jehovah^H3068 with an everlasting^H5769 salvation^H8668: ye shall not be put to shame^H3637 nor confounded^H954 world^H5769 without end^H5703. 18For thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 that created^H1254 the heavens^H8064, the God^H430 that formed^H3335 the earth^H776 and made^H6213 it, that established^H3559 it and created^H1254 it not a waste^H8414, that formed^H3335 it to be inhabited^H3427: I am Jehovah^H3068; and there is none else. 19I have not spoken^H1696 in secret^H5643, in a place^H4725 of the land^H776 of darkness^H2822; I said^H559 not unto the seed^H2233 of Jacob^H3290, Seek^H1245 ye me in vain^H8414: I, Jehovah^H3068, speak^H1696 righteousness^H6664, I declare^H5046 things that are right^H4339. 20Assemble^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 carry^H5375 the wood^H6086 of their graven image^H6459, and pray^H6419 unto a god^H410 that cannot save^H3467. 21Declare^H5046 ye, and bring it forth^H5066; yea, let them take counsel^H3289 together^H3162: who hath showed^H5046 this from ancient time^H6924? who hath declared^H5046 it of old? have not I, Jehovah^H3068? and there is no God^H430 else besides^H1107 me, a just^H6662 God^H410 and a Saviour^H3467; there is none^H369 besides^H2108 me. 22Look^H6437 unto me, and be ye saved^H3467, all the ends^H657 of the earth^H776; for I am God^H410, and there is none else. 23By myself have I sworn^H7650, the word^H1697 is gone forth^H3318 from my mouth^H6310 in righteousness^H6666, and shall not return^H7725, that unto me every knee^H1290 shall bow^H3766, every tongue^H3956 shall swear^H7650. 24Only in Jehovah^H3068, it is said^H559 of me, is righteousness^H6666 and strength^H5797; even to him shall men come^H935; and all they that were incensed^H2734 against him shall be put to shame^H954. 25In Jehovah^H3068 shall all the seed^H2233 of Israel^H3478 be justified^H6663, and shall glory^H1984.
