Isaiah 45:1-2

International Standard Version

Cyrus: God’s Deliverer

45 This is what the Lord says to his anointed, Cyrus,
    whose right hand I have grasped
to subdue nations before him,
    as I strip kings of their armor,^[a]
to open doors^[b] before him
    and gates that cannot keep closed:

²“I myself will go before you,
and he^[c] will make the mountains^[d] level;
I’ll shatter bronze doors
and cut through iron bars.
