45 Thus says the Lord to ^(A)Cyrus His anointed,
Whom I have taken by the right ^(B)hand,
To ^(C)subdue nations before him
And ^[a]to ^(D)loose the loins of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
² “I will go before you and ^(E)make the ^[b]rough places smooth;
I will ^(F)shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron ^(G)bars.

⁹ Her ^(A)gates have sunk into the ground,
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations;
The ^(B)law is no more.
Also, her prophets find
^(C)No vision from the Lord.
