Isaiah 45:1-18

45:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

to his anointed
<04899>_,

to Cyrus
<03566>_,

whose right hand
<03225>

I have holden
<02388> (8689)_,

to subdue
<07286> (8800)

nations
<01471>

before
<06440>

him; and I will loose
<06605> (8762)

the loins
<04975>

of kings
<04428>_,

to open
<06605> (8800)

before
<06440>

him the two leaved gates
<01817>_;

and the gates
<08179>

shall not be shut
<05462> (8735)_;

{have...: or, strengthened}

45:2

I will go
<03212> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee, and make
<03474> (0)

the crooked places
<01921> (8803)

straight
<03474> (8762) (8675) <03474> (8686)_:

I will break in pieces
<07665> (8762)

the gates
<01817>

of brass
<05154>_,

and cut in sunder
<01438> (8762)

the bars
<01280>

of iron
<01270>_:

45:3

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

thee the treasures
<0214>

of darkness
<02822>_,

and hidden riches
<04301>

of secret places
<04565>_,

that thou mayest know
<03045> (8799)

that I, the LORD
<03068>_,

which call
<07121> (8802)

[thee] by thy name
<08034>_,

[am] the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

45:4

For Jacob
<03290>

my servant's
<05650>

sake, and Israel
<03478>

mine elect
<0972>_,

I have even called
<07121> (8799)

thee by thy name
<08034>_:

I have surnamed
<03655> (8762)

thee, though thou hast not known
<03045> (8804)

me.

45:5

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

and [there is] none else, [there is] no God
<0430>

beside
<02108>

me: I girded
<0247> (8762)

thee, though thou hast not known
<03045> (8804)

me:

45:6

That they may know
<03045> (8799)

from the rising
<04217>

of the sun
<08121>_,

and from the west
<04628>_,

that [there is] none
<0657>

beside
<01107>

me. I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,

and [there is] none else.

45:7

I form
<03335> (8802)

the light
<0216>_,

and create
<01254> (8802)

darkness
<02822>_:

I make
<06213> (8802)

peace
<07965>_,

and create
<01254> (8802)

evil
<07451>_:

I the LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8802)

all these [things].

45:8

Drop down
<07491> (8685)_,

ye heavens
<08064>_,

from above
<04605>_,

and let the skies
<07834>

pour down
<05140> (8799)

righteousness
<06664>_:

let the earth
<0776>

open
<06605> (8799)_,

and let them bring forth
<06509> (8799)

salvation
<03468>_,

and let righteousness
<06666>

spring up
<06779> (8686)

together
<03162>_;

I the LORD
<03068>

have created
<01254> (8804)

it.

45:9

Woe
<01945>

unto him that striveth
<07378> (8801)

with his Maker
<03335> (8802)_!

[Let] the potsherd
<02789>

[strive] with the potsherds
<02789>

of the earth
<0127>_.

Shall the clay
<02563>

say
<0559> (8799)

to him that fashioneth
<03335> (8802)

it, What makest
<06213> (8799)

thou? or thy work
<06467>_,

He hath no hands
<03027>_?

45:10

Woe
<01945>

unto him that saith
<0559> (8802)

unto [his] father
<01>_,

What begettest
<03205> (8686)

thou? or to the woman
<0802>_,

What hast thou brought forth
<02342> (8799)_?

45:11

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and his Maker
<03335> (8802)_,

Ask
<07592> (8798)

me of things to come
<0857> (8802)

concerning my sons
<01121>_,

and concerning the work
<06467>

of my hands
<03027>

command
<06680> (8762)

ye me.

45:12

I have made
<06213> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_,

and created
<01254> (8804)

man
<0120>

upon it: I, [even] my hands
<03027>_,

have stretched out
<05186> (8804)

the heavens
<08064>_,

and all their host
<06635>

have I commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

45:13

I have raised him up
<05782> (8689)

in righteousness
<06664>_,

and I will direct
<03474> (8762)

all his ways
<01870>_:

he shall build
<01129> (8799)

my city
<05892>_,

and he shall let go
<07971> (8762)

my captives
<01546>_,

not for price
<04242>

nor reward
<07810>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

{direct: or, make straight}

45:14

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

The labour
<03018>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and merchandise
<05505>

of Ethiopia
<03568>

and of the Sabeans
<05436>_,

men
<0582>

of stature
<04060>_,

shall come over
<05674> (8799)

unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

thee; in chains
<02131>

they shall come over
<05674> (8799)_,

and they shall fall down
<07812> (8691)

unto thee, they shall make supplication
<06419> (8691)

unto thee, [saying], Surely God
<0410>

[is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no
<0657>

God
<0430>_.

45:15

Verily
<0403>

thou [art] a God
<0410>

that hidest
<05641> (8693)

thyself, O God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

the Saviour
<03467> (8688)_.

45:16

They shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,

and also confounded
<03637> (8738)_,

all of them: they shall go
<01980> (8804)

to confusion
<03639>

together
<03162>

[that are] makers
<02796>

of idols
<06736>_.

45:17

[But] Israel
<03478>

shall be saved
<03467> (8738)

in the LORD
<03068>

with an everlasting
<05769>

salvation
<08668>_:

ye shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

nor confounded
<03637> (8735)

world
<05769>

without end
<05703>_.

45:18

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

that created
<01254> (8802)

the heavens
<08064>_;

God
<0430>

himself that formed
<03335> (8802)

the earth
<0776>

and made
<06213> (8802)

it; he hath established
<03559> (8790)

it, he created
<01254> (8804)

it not in vain
<08414>_,

he formed
<03335> (8804)

it to be inhabited
<03427> (8800)_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_;

and [there is] none else.
