God Uses Cyrus

"I will
give you the
treasures of
darkness And
hidden wealth of
secret places, So that you may
know that it is I, The
LORD, the
God of
Israel, who
calls you by your
name.
4
"For the
sake of
Jacob My
servant, And
Israel My
chosen one, I have also
called you by your
name ; I have
given you a
title of
honor Though you have not
known Me.
5
"I am the
LORD, and
there is
no other ;
Besides Me
there is
no God. I will
gird you, though you have not
known Me;
6
That men may
know from the
rising to the
setting of the
sun That there is
no one besides Me. I am the
LORD, and
there is
no other,
God's Supreme Power

"Woe to the one who
quarrels with his
Maker - An
earthenware vessel among the
vessels of
earth ! Will the
clay say to the
potter,
'What are you
doing ?' Or the
thing you are
making say, 'He
has no hands '?
10
"Woe to him who
says to a
father,
'What are you
begetting ?' Or to a
woman, 'To
what are you
giving birth ?' "
11
Thus says the
LORD, the
Holy One of
Israel, and his
Maker : "
Ask Me
about the
things to
come concerning My
sons, And you shall
commit to Me the
work of My
hands.
12
"It is I who
made the
earth, and
created man upon it. I
stretched out the
heavens with My
hands And I
ordained all their
host.
14
Thus says the
LORD, "The
products of
Egypt and the
merchandise of
Cush And the
Sabeans,
men of
stature, Will
come over to you and will be yours; They will
walk behind you, they will
come over in
chains And will
bow down to you; They will
make supplication to you: '
Surely,
God is with you, and
there is
none else,
No other God.' "
15
Truly, You are a
God who
hides Himself, O
God of
Israel,
Savior !
17
Israel has been
saved by the
LORD With an
everlasting salvation ; You will not be
put to
shame or
humiliated To
all eternity.
18
For
thus says the
LORD, who
created the
heavens (He is the
God who
formed the
earth and
made it, He
established it and did not
create it a
waste place, but
formed it to be
inhabited ), "I am the
LORD, and
there is
none else.
22
"
Turn to Me and be
saved,
all the
ends of the
earth ; For I am
God, and
there is
no other.
23
" I have
sworn by Myself, The
word has
gone forth from My
mouth in
righteousness And will not
turn back, That to Me
every knee will
bow,
every tongue will
swear allegiance.
24
"They will
say of Me,
'Only in the
LORD are
righteousness and
strength.' Men will
come to Him, And
all who were
angry at Him will be
put to
shame.
25
"In the
LORD all the
offspring of
Israel Will be
justified and will
glory."
