45 The Lord says this to Cyrus, His anointed,(A)
whose right hand I have grasped(B)
to subdue nations before him,
to disarm[a] kings,(C)
to open the doors before him
and the gates will not be shut:
“I will go before you
and level the uneven places;[b](D)
I will shatter the bronze doors
and cut the iron bars in two.(E)
I will give you the treasures of darkness
and riches from secret places,(F)
so that you may know that I, Yahweh,
the God of Israel call you by your name.(G)
