Cyrus, God’s Instrument
1 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To aCyrus, whose bright hand I have held—
cTo subdue nations before him
And dloose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:
To aCyrus, whose bright hand I have held—
cTo subdue nations before him
And dloose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:
2 ‘I will go before you
aAnd1 make the crooked places straight;
bI will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.
aAnd1 make the crooked places straight;
bI will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
aThat you may know that I, the Lord,
Who bcall you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.
And hidden riches of secret places,
aThat you may know that I, the Lord,
Who bcall you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.
4 For aJacob My servant’s sake,
And Israel My elect,
I have even called you by your name;
I have named you, though you have not known Me.
And Israel My elect,
I have even called you by your name;
I have named you, though you have not known Me.
