Isaiah 45:1; Isaiah 45:12; Isaiah 45:13

1 Thus says the LORD to Cyrus His anointed, Whom I have taken by the right hand, To subdue nations before him And to loose the loins of kings; To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:

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.

13 "I have aroused him in righteousness And I will make all his ways smooth; He will build My city and will let My exiles go free, Without any payment or reward," says the LORD of hosts.
