1Thus says JEHOVAH to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut: 2"I will go before you, 3I will give you the treasures of darkness, 4For Jacob my servant's sake, 5I am JEHOVAH, and there is none else. 6that they may know from the rising of the sun, 7I form the light, 8Distil, you heavens, from above, 9Woe to him who strives with his Maker- 10Woe to him who says to a father, 'What have you become the father of?' 11Thus says JEHOVAH, the Holy One of Israel, 12I have made the earth, and created man on it. 13I have raised him up in righteousness, 14Thus says JEHOVAH: "The labor of Egypt, 15Most certainly you are a God who hid yourself, 16They will be disappointed, 17Israel will be saved by JEHOVAH with an everlasting salvation. 18For thus says JEHOVAH who created the heavens, 19I have not spoken in secret, 20Assemble yourselves and come. 21Declare and bring it forth. 22Look to me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. 23By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24Only in JEHOVAH, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength; even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed. 25In JEHOVAH shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.ΒΆ
