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
1Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2“I will go before you
and make the rough places smooth.
I will break the doors of bronze in pieces
and cut apart the bars of iron.
3I will give you the treasures of darkness
and hidden riches of secret places,
that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who calls you by your name,
even the God of Israel.
4For Jacob my servant’s sake,
and Israel my chosen,
I have called you by your name.
I have given you a title,
though you have not known me.
5I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
Besides me, there is no God.
I will strengthen#45:5 or, equip you,
though you have not known me,
6that they may know from the rising of the sun,
and from the west,
that there is no one besides me.
I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
7I form the light
and create darkness.
I make peace
and create calamity.
I am Yahweh,
who does all these things.
8Rain, you heavens, from above,
and let the skies pour down righteousness.
Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation,
and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it.
I, Yahweh, have created it.
9Woe to him who strives with his Maker—
a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth!
Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’
or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
10Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’
or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
11Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel
and his Maker says:
“You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons,
and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
12I have made the earth, and created man on it.
I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens.
I have commanded all their army.
13I have raised him up in righteousness,
and I will make all his ways straight.
He shall build my city,
and he shall let my exiles go free,
not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.
14Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt,
and the merchandise of Ethiopia,
and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you,
and they will be yours.
They will go after you.
They shall come over in chains.
They will bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you:
‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else.
There is no other god.
15Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself,
God of Israel, the Savior.’”
16They will be disappointed,
yes, confounded, all of them.
Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation.
You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
18For Yahweh who created the heavens,
the God who formed the earth and made it,
who established it and didn’t create it a waste,
who formed it to be inhabited says:
“I am Yahweh.
There is no other.
19I have not spoken in secret,
in a place of the land of darkness.
I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’
I, Yahweh, speak righteousness.
I declare things that are right.
20“Assemble yourselves and come.
Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations.
Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image,
and pray to a god that can’t save.
21Declare and present it.
Yes, let them take counsel together.
Who has shown this from ancient time?
Who has declared it of old?
Haven’t I, Yahweh?
There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior.
There is no one besides me.
22“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
23I have sworn by myself.
The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked,
that to me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall take an oath.
24They will say of me,
‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’”
Even to him will men come.
All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
25All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh,
and will rejoice!
