1. Thus saith יְהוָ֥ה to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, 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;

2. I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3. And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, יְהוָ֥ה, which call by thy name, the Elohim of Israel.

4. For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5. יְהוָ֥ה, and none else, no Elohim beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that none beside me. יְהוָ֥ה, and none else.

7. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: יְהוָ֥ה do all these.

8. 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; יְהוָ֥ה have created it.

9. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! the potsherd 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?

10. Woe unto him that saith unto father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

11. Thus saith יְהוָ֥ה, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

12. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

13. I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith יְהוָ֥ה of hosts.

14. Thus saith יְהוָ֥ה, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, Surely Elohim in thee; and none else, no Elohim.

15. Verily thou Elohim that hidest thyself, O Elohim of Israel, the Saviour.

16. They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together makers of idols.

17. Israel shall be saved in יְהוָ֥ה with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

18. For thus saith יְהוָ֥ה that created the heavens; Elohim himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: יְהוָ֥ה; and none else.

19. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: יְהוָ֥ה speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

20. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god cannot save.

21. Tell ye, and bring near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? hath told it from that time? not יְהוָ֥ה? and no Elohim else beside me; a just Elohim and a Saviour; none beside me.

22. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I Elohim, and none else.

23. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

24. Surely, shall say, in יְהוָ֥ה have I righteousness and strength: to him shall come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

25. In יְהוָ֥ה shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
