Isaiah 45:1-2

New King James Version

45 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To ^(A)Cyrus, whose ^(B)right hand I have ^[a]held—
^(C)To subdue nations before him
And ^(D)loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:
² ‘I will go before you
^(E)And^[b] make the ^[c]crooked places straight;
^(F)I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.
