Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held fast, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two-leaved gates, and the gates shall not be shut.
I will go before thee, and make the elevated places plain; I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron;
and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I Jehovah, who call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.
For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name; I surnamed thee, though thou didst not know me.
I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else, there is no God besides me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
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,
forming the light, and creating darkness; making peace, and creating evil: I Jehovah do all these [things].
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I Jehovah have created it.
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Woe unto him that saith unto a father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.
I have made the earth, and created man upon it; I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Thus saith Jehovah, the labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sebaim (Sabeans), men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine; they shall go after thee; in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and there is none else, no [other] God.
Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
They shall be ashamed, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together [that are] makers of idols.
[But] Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded unto the ages of ages.
For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth and made it; he that established it, not a waste he created it; he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] Jehovah; and there is none else.
I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I [am] Jehovah speaking righteousness, declaring things that are right.
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that are] escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save.
Declare, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together. Who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it long ago? [Have] not I Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me; a just God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and there is none else.
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Only in Jehovah, shall [one] say, have I righteousness and strength: to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
