1 Thus saith the LORD 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, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God 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 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God 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 there is none be­side me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and cre­ate dark­ness: I make peace, and cre­ate evil: I the LORD do all these things. 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; I the LORD have cre­at­ed it. 9 Woe unto him that striv­eth with his Mak­er! Let the pot­sherd strive 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 his fa­ther, What begettest thou? or to the wom­an, What hast thou brought forth? 11 Thus saith the LORD, 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, even 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 the LORD of hosts. 14 Thus saith the LORD, 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, saying, Sure­ly God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. 15 Ver­i­ly thou art a God that hidest thy­self, O God of Is­rael, the Saviour. 16 They shall be ashamed, and also con­found­ed, all of them: they shall go to con­fu­sion to­geth­er that are mak­ers of idols. 17 But Is­rael shall be saved in the LORD with an ev­er­last­ing sal­va­tion: ye shall not be ashamed nor con­found­ed world with­out end. 18 For thus saith the LORD that cre­at­ed the heav­ens; God him­self that formed the earth and made it; he hath es­tab­lished it, he cre­at­ed it not in vain, he formed it to be in­hab­it­ed: I am the LORD; and there is 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: I the LORD speak righ­teous­ness, I de­clare things that are right. 20 As­sem­ble your­selves and come; draw near to­geth­er, ye that are es­caped of the na­tions: they have no knowl­edge that set up the wood of their graven im­age, and pray unto a god that can­not save. 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take coun­sel to­geth­er: who hath de­clared this from an­cient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else be­side me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none be­side me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by my­self, the word is gone out of my mouth in righ­teous­ness, and shall not re­turn, That unto me ev­ery knee shall bow, ev­ery tongue shall swear. 24 Sure­ly, shall one say, in the LORD have I righ­teous­ness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are in­censed against him shall be ashamed. 25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Is­rael be jus­ti­fied, and shall glo­ry.
