Isaiah 45:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

‘I hold your right hand.
I give you power over other nations,
    to take away the weapons of their kings.
I will open the gates of cities in front of you,
    and they will stay open.
² I will go in front of you,
    and I will make the mountains flat.
I will break bronze gates into pieces,
    and I will cut through iron bars.^[a]
3 I will take valuable things that people have stored in secret places,
    and I will give them to you.
Then you will know that I am the Lord, Israel's God.
    I am the one who calls you by your name.
