Isaiah 45: 1 Thus saith the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and that the gates may not be shut:
Isaiah 45: 2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron;
Isaiah 45: 3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I am the LORD, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.
Isaiah 45: 4 For the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel Mine elect, I have called thee by thy name, I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me.
Isaiah 45: 5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, beside Me there is no God; I have girded thee, though thou hast not known Me;
Isaiah 45: 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;
