Isaiah 45

1

Yahweh 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

and cut apart the bars of iron.

3

even the God of Israel.

4

though you have not known me.

5

though you have not known me,

6

I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.

7

who does all these things.

8

I, Yahweh, have created it.

9

or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

10

or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’ ”

11

and you command me concerning the work of my hands!

12

I have commanded all their army.

13

not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.

14

There is no other god.

15

God of Israel, the Savior.’ ”

16

Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.

17

You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

18

There is no other.

19

I declare things that are right.

20

and pray to a god that can’t save.

21

There is no one besides me.

22

for I am God, and there is no other.

23

every tongue shall take an oath.

24

All those who raged against him will be disappointed.

25

and will rejoice!
