Isaiah 45:1-6 (New Revised Standard)
1
Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their robes, to open doors before him— and the gates shall not be closed:
2
I will go before you and level the mountains, a I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron,
3
I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.
4
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I surname you, though you do not know me.
5
I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides me there is no god. I arm you, though you do not know me,
6
so that they may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is no one besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other.
