Isaiah 45:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
⁴ I have called you on behalf of my people,
    to help my servant, Jacob's descendants.
    They are Israel's people, that I have chosen for myself.
You do not know me as your God,
    but I have given to you an important name.
