I will go before you
    and make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
    and shatter the bars of iron.
And I will give you the treasures of darkness
    and hidden riches of secret places
so that you may know that I, the Lord,
    who calls you by your name, am the God of Israel.
For Jacob My servant’s sake
    and Israel My chosen one,
I have even called you by your name;
    I have named you,
    though you have not known Me.
