Isaiah 45

1 God calleth Cyrus for his Church's sake. 5 By his omnipotency he challengeth obedience. 20 He convinceth the idols of vanity by his saving power.

 45:1 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 to his anointed, 4899 to Cyrus, 3566 whose x834 right hand 3225 I have holden, 2388 z8689 to subdue 7286 z8800 nations 1471 before 6440 him; and I will loose 6605 z8762 the loins 4975 of kings, 4428 to open 6605 z8800 before 6440 him the two leaved gates; 1817 and the gates 8179 shall not x3808 be shut; 5462 z8735

 45:2 I x589 will go y3212 z8799 x1980 before 6440 thee, and make y3474 z0 the crooked places y1921 z8803 straight: 3474 z8762 z8675 z8686 x1921 I will break in pieces 7665 z8762 the gates 1817 of brass, 5154 and cut in sunder 1438 z8762 the bars 1280 of iron: 1270

 45:3 And I will give 5414 z8804 thee the treasures 214 of darkness, 2822 and hidden riches 4301 of secret places, 4565 that x4616 thou mayest know 3045 z8799 that x3588 I, x589 the LORD, 3068 which call 7121 z8802 [thee] by thy name, 8034 [am] the God 430 of Israel. 3478

 45:4 For Jacob 3290 my servant's y5650 sake, x4616 x5650 and Israel 3478 mine elect, 972 I have even called 7121 z8799 thee by thy name: 8034 I have surnamed 3655 z8762 thee, though thou hast not x3808 known 3045 z8804 me.

 45:5 ¶ I x589 [am] the LORD, 3068 and [there is] none x369 else, x5750 [there is] no x369 God 430 beside 2108 me: I girded 247 z8762 thee, though thou hast not x3808 known 3045 z8804 me:

 45:6 That x4616 they may know 3045 z8799 from the rising 4217 x4480 of the sun, 8121 and from the west, 4628 x4480 that x3588 [there is] none 657 beside 1107 me. I x589 [am] the LORD, 3068 and [there is] none x369 else. x5750

 45:7 I form 3335 z8802 the light, 216 and create 1254 z8802 darkness: 2822 I make 6213 z8802 peace, 7965 and create 1254 z8802 evil: 7451 I x589 the LORD 3068 do 6213 z8802 all x3605 these x428 [things].

 45:8 Drop down, 7491 z8685 ye heavens, 8064 from above, 4605 x4480 and let the skies 7834 pour down 5140 z8799 righteousness: 6664 let the earth 776 open, 6605 z8799 and let them bring forth 6509 z8799 salvation, 3468 and let righteousness 6666 spring up 6779 z8686 together; 3162 I x589 the LORD 3068 have created 1254 z8804 it.

 45:9 Woe 1945 unto him that striveth 7378 z8801 with x854 his Maker! 3335 z8802 [Let] the potsherd 2789 [strive] with x854 the potsherds 2789 of the earth. 127 Shall the clay 2563 say 559 z8799 to him that fashioneth 3335 z8802 it, What x4100 makest 6213 z8799 thou? or thy work, 6467 He hath no x369 hands? 3027

 45:10 Woe 1945 unto him that saith 559 z8802 unto [his] father, 1 What x4100 begettest 3205 z8686 thou? or to the woman, 802 What x4100 hast thou brought forth? 2342 z8799

 45:11 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 the Holy One 6918 of Israel, 3478 and his Maker, 3335 z8802 Ask 7592 z8798 me of things to come 857 z8802 concerning x5921 my sons, 1121 and concerning x5921 the work 6467 of my hands 3027 command 6680 z8762 ye me.

 45:12 I x595 have made 6213 z8804 the earth, 776 and created 1254 z8804 man 120 upon x5921 it: I, x589 [even] my hands, 3027 have stretched out 5186 z8804 the heavens, 8064 and all x3605 their host 6635 have I commanded. 6680 z8765

 45:13 I x595 have raised him up 5782 z8689 in righteousness, 6664 and I will direct 3474 z8762 all x3605 his ways: 1870 he x1931 shall build 1129 z8799 my city, 5892 and he shall let go 7971 z8762 my captives, 1546 not x3808 for price 4242 nor x3808 reward, 7810 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts. 6635

 45:14 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 The labor 3018 of Egypt, 4714 and merchandise 5505 of Ethiopia 3568 and of the Sabeans, 5436 men y582 x376 of stature, 4060 shall come over 5674 z8799 unto x5921 thee, and they shall be x1961 thine: they shall come y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 thee; in chains 2131 they shall come over, 5674 z8799 and they shall fall down 7812 z8691 unto x413 thee, they shall make supplication 6419 z8691 unto x413 thee, [saying], Surely x389 God 410 [is] in thee; and [there is] none x369 else, x5750 [there is] no 657 God. 430

 45:15 Verily 403 thou x859 [art] a God 410 that hidest y5641 z8693 thyself, x5641 O God 430 of Israel, 3478 the Savior. 3467 z8688

 45:16 They shall be ashamed, 954 z8804 and also x1571 confounded, 3637 z8738 all x3605 of them: they shall go 1980 z8804 to confusion 3639 together 3162 [that are] makers 2796 of idols. 6736

 45:17 [But] Israel 3478 shall be saved 3467 z8738 in the LORD 3068 with an everlasting 5769 salvation: 8668 ye shall not x3808 be ashamed 954 z8799 nor x3808 confounded 3637 z8735 world y5769 without end. 5703 x5704 x5769

 45:18 For x3588 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 that created 1254 z8802 the heavens; 8064 God 430 himself x1931 that formed 3335 z8802 the earth 776 and made 6213 z8802 it; he x1931 hath established 3559 z8790 it, he created 1254 z8804 it not x3808 in vain, 8414 he formed 3335 z8804 it to be inhabited: 3427 z8800 I x589 [am] the LORD; 3068 and [there is] none x369 else. x5750

 45:19 I have not x3808 spoken 1696 z8765 in secret, 5643 in a dark 2822 place 4725 of the earth: 776 I said 559 z8804 not x3808 unto the seed 2233 of Jacob, 3290 Seek 1245 z8761 ye me in vain: 8414 I x589 the LORD 3068 speak 1696 z8802 righteousness, 6664 I declare 5046 z8688 things that are right. 4339

 45:20 ¶ Assemble y6908 z8734 yourselves x6908 and come; 935 z8798 draw near 5066 z8690 together, 3162 ye [that are] escaped 6412 of the nations: 1471 they have no knowledge 3045 z8804 x3808 that set up 5375 z8802 x853 the wood 6086 of their graven image, 6459 and pray 6419 z8693 unto x413 a god 410 [that] cannot x3808 save. 3467 z8686

 45:21 Tell 5046 z8685 ye, and bring [them] near; 5066 z8685 yea, x637 let them take counsel 3289 z8735 together: 3162 who x4310 hath declared 8085 z8689 this x2063 from ancient time? 6924 x4480 [who] hath told 5046 z8689 it from that time? x4480 x227 [have] not x3808 I x589 the LORD? 3068 and [there is] no x369 God 430 else x5750 beside 1107 x4480 me; a just 6662 God 410 and a Savior; 3467 z8688 [there is] none 369 beside 2108 me.

 45:22 Look 6437 z8798 unto x413 me, and be ye saved, 3467 z8734 all x3605 the ends 657 of the earth: 776 for x3588 I x589 [am] God, 410 and [there is] none x369 else. x5750

 45:23 I have sworn 7650 z8738 by myself, the word 1697 is gone out 3318 z8804 of my mouth 6310 x4480 [in] righteousness, 6666 and shall not x3808 return, 7725 z8799 That x3588 unto me every x3605 knee 1290 shall bow, 3766 z8799 every x3605 tongue 3956 shall swear. 7650 z8735

 45:24 Surely, x389 shall [one] say, 559 z8804 in the LORD 3068 have I righteousness 6666 and strength: 5797 [even] to x5704 him shall [men] come; 935 z8799 and all x3605 that are incensed 2734 z8737 against him shall be ashamed. 954 z8799

 45:25 In the LORD 3068 shall all x3605 the seed 2233 of Israel 3478 be justified, 6663 z8799 and shall glory. 1984 z8691
