Isaiah 45
45
CHAPTER 45
1The Lord saith these things to my christ, Cyrus, whose right hand I took, that I make subject folks before his face, and turn the backs of kings; and I shall open [the] gates before him, and [the] gates shall not be closed.
2I shall go before thee, and I shall make low the glorious men of earth; I shall all-break [the] brazen gates, and I shall break altogether [the] iron bars.
3And I shall give hid treasures to thee, and the privy things of privates, that thou know, that I am the Lord, that call thy name, God of Israel,
4for my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, and I called thee by thy name; I likened thee, and thou knewest not me.
5I am the Lord, and there is no more; without me is no God. I have girded thee, and thou knewest not me.
6That they that be at the rising of the sun, and they that be at the west, know, that without me is no God. I am the Lord, and none other God is;
7forming light, and making dark-nesses, making peace, and forming evil; I am the Lord, doing all these things.
8Heavens, send ye out dew from above, and clouds, rain on a just [or rightwise] man; the earth be opened, and bring forth the saviour, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] be born together; I the Lord have made him of nought.
9Woe to him that against-saith his maker, a tilestone of [the] earth of sands. Whether [the] clay saith to his potter, What makest thou, and thy work is without hands?
10Woe to him that saith to the father, What engenderest thou? and to a woman, What childest thou?
11The Lord, the Holy of Israel, the former thereof, saith these things, Ask ye me things to coming [or to come] on my sons, and send ye to me on the works of mine hands.
12I made earth, and I made a man on it; mine hands held abroad heavens, and I commanded to all the knighthood of them.
13I raised him to rightfulness [or rightwiseness], and I shall address all his ways; he shall build my city, and he shall deliver my prisoners, not in price, neither in gifts, saith the Lord of hosts.
14The Lord God saith these things, The travail of Egypt, and the mer-chandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabeans; [the] high men shall go to thee, and shall be thine; they shall go after thee, they shall go bound in manacles, and shall worship thee, and shall beseech thee. They shall say, God is only in thee, and without thee is no God.
15Verily thou art God hid, God, the saviour of Israel.
16All makers of errors, that is, idols, be shamed, and were ashamed; they went together into confusion.
17Israel is saved in the Lord, by everlasting health; ye shall not be shamed, and ye shall not be ashamed, till into the world of world.
18For why the Lord making heavens of nought, saith these things; he is God forming earth, and making it, he is the maker thereof; he made it of nought, not in vain, but he formed it, that it be inhabited; I am the Lord, and none other is.
19I spake not in hid place, not in a dark place of earth; I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain. I am the Lord speaking rightfulness [or rightwiseness], telling rightful [or right] things.
20Be ye gathered, and come ye, and nigh ye together, that be saved of heathen men; they that raise a sign of their engraving, knew not, and they pray a god that saveth not.
21Tell ye, and come ye, and take ye counsel together. Who made this heard from the beginning? from that time I before-said it. Whether I am not the Lord, and no God is further without me? [a] God rightful [or rightwise] and saving is none, besides me.
22All the coasts of earth, be ye converted to me, and ye shall be safe; for I am the Lord, and none other there is [or and there is not another].
23I swore in myself, a word of rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall go out of my mouth, and it shall not turn again; for each knee shall be bowed to me, and each tongue shall swear.
24Therefore they shall say in the Lord, Rightfulnesses [or rightwisenesses] and empire be mine; all that fight against him shall come to him, and shall be ashamed.
25All the seed of Israel shall be justified and praised in the Lord.

Isaiah 45
45
XLV
1Thus saith Jehovah to his Anointed, to Cyrus,
Whom I hold fast by his right hand;
To subdue nations before him,
And ungird the loins of kings;
To open before him the two-leaved gates:
And the gates shall not be shut.
2I 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.
3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness,
And the stores deeply hidden in secret places;
That thou mayest know that I am Jehovah,
He who calleth thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
4For Jacob my servant’s sake,
And Israel my chosen,
I have even called thee by thy name;
I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5I am Jehovah, and there is none else;
There is no God beside me:
I girded thee, though thou knewest me not;
6That men may know from the rising of the sun,
And from the west, that there is none beside me;
I am Jehovah, and there is none else:
7I form light, and create darkness;
I make peace, and create evil:
I Jehovah do all these things.
8Drop down, ye heavens, from above;
And let the clouds shower down righteousness;
Let the earth open her bosom, and let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together:
I Jehovah have created it.
9Wo unto him that striveth with his Maker!
Let a 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?
10Wo unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou?
Or to the woman, What dost thou bring forth?
11Thus saith Jehovah,
The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker:
Of things to come ask me;
But over my sons, and over the work of my hands, let me have the command.
12I have made the earth,
And created man upon it:
I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens,
And to all the host of them I have given command.
13I have raised him up in righteousness,
And I will make straight all his ways:
He shall build my city, and release my captives,
Not for price, nor for reward:
Saith Jehovah of hosts.
14Thus saith Jehovah:
The labour of Egypt, the merchandise of Cush,
And of the Sabeans, men of stature;
Shall come over unto thee, and shall be thine:
They shall follow thee; in chains shall they pass along,
And they shall bow down unto thee;
They shall make supplication unto thee, saying:
Surely God is in thee, and there is none else;
There is no God besides.
15Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself;
O God of Israel, the Saviour!
16They are ashamed, and also confounded, all of them;
They retire in confusion together that are makers of images.
17 But Israel shall be saved through Jehovah with an everlasting salvation:
Ye shall not be ashamed, nor confounded, world without end.
18For thus saith Jehovah who created the heavens;
He himself is the God who formed the earth, and made it; it was He that hath established it;
He created it not in vain; He formed it to be inhabited:
I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
19I 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, Jehovah, speak the truth: I declare the things that are right
20Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather yourselves together, ye that are escaped of the nations:
They have no knowledge that carry about the wood of their graven image,
And pray to a god that cannot save.
21Publish it abroad, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:
Who hath made this known from ancient time, hath declared it of old?
Was it not I, Jehovah? besides me there is no God;
A just God, and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
For I am God, and there is none else.
23I have sworn by myself, the truth is gone out of my mouth;
The word, and it shall not be revoked:
That unto me every knee shall bow,
Every tongue shall swear.
24Only in Jehovah, shall one say of me, is righteousness and strength;
To Him shall men come,
And all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed.
25In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
