Isaiah 45:1
|
|
Thus saith Jehovah 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 the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut: |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:2 |
|
I will go before thee, and make the rough places
smooth; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars
of iron; |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 45:3 |
|
and I will give thee the treasures of darkness,
and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that it is I, Jehovah,
who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 45:4 |
|
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen,
I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known
me. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 45:5 |
|
I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides
me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me; |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 45:6 |
|
that they may know from the rising of the sun,
and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none
else. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 45:7 |
|
I form the light, and create darkness; I make
peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:8 |
|
Distil, ye heavens, from above, and let the
skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation,
and let it cause righteousness to spring up together; I, Jehovah, have created
it. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:9 |
|
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! a
potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth
it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:10 |
|
Woe unto him that saith unto a father, What
begettest thou? or to a woman, With what travailest thou? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:11 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel,
and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and
concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:12 |
|
I have made the earth, and created man upon
it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have
I commanded. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:13 |
|
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I
will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles
go free, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:14 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and
the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over
unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall go after thee, in chains they shall
come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto
thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:15 |
|
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O
God of Israel, the Saviour. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:16 |
|
They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded,
all of them; they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:17 |
|
But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an
everlasting salvation: ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without
end. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:18 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens,
the God that formed the earth and made it, that established it and created it
not a waste, that formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah; and there is none else.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:19 |
|
I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the
land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I, Jehovah,
speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 45:20 |
|
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together,
ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that carry the wood
of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 45:21 |
|
Declare ye, and bring it forth; yea, let them
take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared
it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God
and a Saviour; there is none besides me. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:22 |
|
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends
of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:23 |
|
By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth
from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee
shall bow, every tongue shall swear. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:24 |
|
Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness
and strength; even to him shall men come; and all they that were incensed against
him shall be put to shame. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 45:25 |
|
In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified,
and shall glory. |
