1	Thus saith the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.	Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed:	“This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
2	I will go before thee, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.	“I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron,	I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron.
3	And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, I will open to thee hidden, unseen treasures , that thou mayest know that I, the Lord thy God, that call thee by name, am the God of Israel.	I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.	I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4	For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call thee by thy name, and accept thee: but thou hast not known me.	For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me.	For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me.
5	For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened thee, and thou hast not known me.	I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me,	I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,
6	That they that come from the east and they that come from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.	that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.	so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other.
7	I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.	I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the LORD, who does all these things.	I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.
8	Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom with mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created thee.	“Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the LORD have created it.	“You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
9	What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the ploughman plough the earth all say? shall the clay say to the potter, What art thou doing that thou dost not work, nor hast hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?	“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ or ‘Your work has no handles’?	“Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?
10	As though one should say to his father, What wilt thou beget me? and to his mother, What art thou bringing forth?	Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’ or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor?’”	Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’
11	For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.	Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: “Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?	“This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?
12	I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.	I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.	It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.
13	I have raised him up to be a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, saith the Lord of hosts.	I have stirred him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways level; he shall build my city and set my exiles free, not for price or reward,” says the LORD of hosts.	I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the LORD Almighty.”
14	Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured for thee ; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to thee, and shall be thy servants; and they shall follow after thee bound in fetters, and shall pass over to thee, and shall do obeisance to thee, and make supplication to thee: because God is in thee; and there is no God beside thee, O Lord .	Thus says the LORD: “The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you and be yours; they shall follow you; they shall come over in chains and bow down to you. They will plead with you, saying: ‘Surely God is in you, and there is no other, no god besides him.’”	This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and those tall Sabeans— they will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you, coming over to you in chains. They will bow down before you and plead with you, saying, ‘Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god.’”
15	For thou art God, yet we knew it not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.	Truly, you are a God who hides himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.	Truly you are a God who has been hiding himself, the God and Savior of Israel.
16	All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: ye isles, keep a feast to me.	All of them are put to shame and confounded; the makers of idols go in confusion together.	All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced; they will go off into disgrace together.
17	Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.	But Israel is saved by the LORD with everlasting salvation; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity.	But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting.
18	Thus saith the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.	For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the LORD, and there is no other.	For this is what the LORD says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
19	I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.	I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I the LORD speak the truth; I declare what is right.	I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right.
20	Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, ye that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, even their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.	“Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.	“Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save.
21	If they will declare, let them draw nigh, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none but me.	Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides me.	Declare what is to be, present it— let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.
22	Turn ye to me, and ye shall be saved, ye that come from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.	“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.	“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23	By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,	By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: ‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.’	By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.
24	saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.	“Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength; to him shall come and be ashamed all who were incensed against him.	They will say of me, ‘In the LORD alone are deliverance and strength.’” All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.
25	By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.	In the LORD all the offspring of Israel shall be justified and shall glory.”	But all the descendants of Israel will find deliverance in the LORD and will make their boast in him.
