Cyrus, God’s Instrument
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:
aAnd1 make the crooked places straight;
bI will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.
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 Israel My elect,
I have even called you by your name;
I have named you, though you have not known Me.
There is no God besides Me.
cI will gird you, though you have not known Me,
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
I make peace and acreate calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.’
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the Lord, have created it.
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
bShall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
