Cyrus, God’s Instrument
45 Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus,

to subdue nations before him
and to strip kings of their robes,

and level the mountains;[a]

and cut through the bars of iron;(B)

and riches hidden in secret places,
so that you may know that it is I, the Lord,
the God of Israel, who call you by your name.(C)
