Isaiah 45

1Thus says the Yahuah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 2I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you mayest know that I, the Yahuah, which call by your name, the Elohim of Israel. 4For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you hast not known me. 5I the Yahuah, and none else, no Elohim beside me: I girded you, though you hast not known me: 6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that none beside me. I the Yahuah, and none else. 7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Yahuah do all these . 8Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Yahuah have created it. 9Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! the potsherd with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest you? or your work, He has no hands? 10Woe unto him that says unto father, What begettest you? or to the woman, What hast you brought forth? 11Thus says the Yahuah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the Yahuah of hosts. 14Thus says the Yahuah, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be your: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, , Surely Elohim in you; and none else, no Elohim. 15Verily you a Elohim that hidest thyself, O Elohim of Israel, the Saviour. 16They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together makers of idols. 17Israel shall be saved in the Yahuah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. 18For thus says the Yahuah that created the heavens; Elohim himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I the Yahuah; and none else. 19I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Yahuah speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. 20Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god cannot save. 21Tell ye, and bring near; yes, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? has told it from that time? not I the Yahuah? and no Elohim else beside me; a just Elohim and a Saviour; none beside me. 22Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I Elohim, and none else. 23I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24Surely, shall say, in the Yahuah have I righteousness and strength: to him shall come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 25In the Yahuah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
