Isaiah 45:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 45:5

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.

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.

5 I ^aam the Lord, and ^bthere is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
^cI will gird you, though you have not known Me,

6 ^aThat they may ^bknow from the rising of the sun to its setting
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;

7 I form the light and create darkness,
I make peace and ^acreate calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.’

8 “Rain^a down, you heavens, from above,
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.
