ASV_Strong : Isaiah 45
1. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] to his anointed[H4899], to Cyrus[H3566], whose right hand[H3225] I have holden[H2388], to subdue[H7286] nations[H1471] before[H6440] him[H6605], and I will loose the loins[H4975] of kings[H4428]; to open[H6605] the doors[H1817] before[H6440] him[H1817], and the gates shall not be shut[H5462]:
2. I will go[H3212] before[H6440] thee[H3474], and make the rough places[H1921] smooth[H3474]; I will break in pieces[H7665] the doors[H1817] of brass[H5154], and cut in sunder[H1438] the bars[H1280] of iron[H1270];
3. and I will give[H5414] thee the treasures[H214] of darkness[H2822], and hidden riches[H4301] of secret places[H4565], that thou mayest know[H3045] that it is I[H3068], Jehovah, who call[H7121] thee by thy name[H8034], even the God[H430] of Israel[H3478].
4. For Jacob[H3290] my servant[H5650]'s sake[H3478], and Israel my chosen[H972], I have called[H7121] thee by thy name[H8034]: I have surnamed[H3655] thee[H3045], though thou hast not known me.
5. I am Jehovah[H3068], and there is none else[H2108]; besides me there is no God[H430]. I will gird[H247] thee[H3045], though thou hast not known me;
6. that they may know[H3045] from the rising[H4217] of the sun[H8121], and from the west[H4628], that there is none[H657] besides[H1107] me[H3068]: I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
7. I form[H3335] the light[H216], and create[H1254] darkness[H2822]; I make[H6213] peace[H7965], and create[H1254] evil[H7451]. I am Jehovah[H3068], that doeth all these things[H6213].
8. Distil[H7491], ye heavens[H8064], from above[H4605], and let the skies[H7834] pour down[H5140] righteousness[H6664]: let the earth[H776] open[H6605], that it may bring forth[H6509] salvation[H3468], and let it cause righteousness[H6666] to spring up[H6779] together[H3162]; I[H3068], Jehovah, have created it[H1254].
9. Woe[H1945] unto him that striveth[H7378] with his Maker[H3335]! a potsherd[H2789] among the potsherds[H2789] of the earth[H127]! Shall the clay[H2563] say[H559] to him that fashioneth[H3335] it[H6213], What makest thou[H6467]? or thy work, He hath no hands[H3027]?
10. Woe[H1945] unto him that saith[H559] unto a father[H1], What begettest[H3205] thou[H802]? or to a woman, With what travailest thou[H2342]?
11. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478], and his Maker[H3335]: Ask[H7592] me of the things that are to come[H857]; concerning my sons[H1121], and concerning the work[H6467] of my hands[H3027], command ye me[H6680].
12. I have made[H6213] the earth[H776], and created[H1254] man[H120] upon it[H3027]: I, even my hands, have stretched out[H5186] the heavens[H8064]; and all their host[H6635] have I commanded[H6680].
13. I have raised him up[H5782] in righteousness[H6664], and I will make straight[H3474] all his ways[H1870]: he shall build[H1129] my city[H5892], and he shall let my exiles[H1546] go[H7971] free[H4242], not for price nor reward[H7810], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635].
14. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], The labor[H3018] of Egypt[H4714], and the merchandise[H5505] of Ethiopia[H3568], and the Sabeans[H5436], men[H582] of stature[H4060], shall come over[H5674] unto thee[H3212], and they shall be thine: they shall go after[H310] thee[H2131], in chains they shall come over[H5674]; and they shall fall down[H7812] unto thee[H6419], they shall make supplication unto thee[H410], saying, Surely God is in thee[H657]; and there is none else, there is no God[H430].
15. Verily[H403] thou art a God[H410] that hidest[H5641] thyself[H430], O God of Israel[H3478], the Saviour[H3467].
16. They shall be put to shame[H3637], yea[H954], confounded, all of them[H1980]; they shall go into confusion[H3639] together[H3162] that are makers[H2796] of idols[H6736].
17. But Israel[H3478] shall be saved[H3467] by Jehovah[H3068] with an everlasting[H5769] salvation[H8668]: ye shall not be put to shame[H3637] nor confounded[H954] world[H5769] without end[H5703].
18. For thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] that created[H1254] the heavens[H8064], the God[H430] that formed[H3335] the earth[H776] and made[H6213] it[H3559], that established it and created[H1254] it not a waste[H8414], that formed[H3335] it to be inhabited[H3427]: I am Jehovah[H3068]; and there is none else.
19. I have not spoken[H1696] in secret[H5643], in a place[H4725] of the land[H776] of darkness[H2822]; I said[H559] not unto the seed[H2233] of Jacob[H3290], Seek[H1245] ye me in vain[H8414]: I[H3068], Jehovah, speak[H1696] righteousness[H6664], I declare[H5046] things that are right[H4339].
20. Assemble[H6908] yourselves and come[H935]; draw near[H5066] together[H3162], ye that are escaped[H6412] of the nations[H1471]: they have no knowledge[H3045] that carry[H5375] the wood[H6086] of their graven image[H6459], and pray[H6419] unto a god[H410] that cannot save[H3467].
21. Declare[H5046] ye[H5066], and bring it forth; yea[H3289], let them take counsel together[H3162]: who hath showed[H5046] this from ancient time[H6924]? who hath declared[H5046] it of old[H3068]? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God[H430] else besides[H1107] me[H6662], a just God[H410] and a Saviour[H3467]; there is none[H369] besides me[H2108].
22. Look[H6437] unto me[H3467], and be ye saved, all the ends[H657] of the earth[H776]; for I am God[H410], and there is none else.
23. By myself have I sworn[H7650], the word[H1697] is gone forth[H3318] from my mouth[H6310] in righteousness[H6666], and shall not return[H7725], that unto me every knee[H1290] shall bow[H3766], every tongue[H3956] shall swear[H7650].
24. Only in Jehovah[H3068], it is said[H559] of me[H6666], is righteousness and strength[H5797]; even to him shall men come[H935]; and all they that were incensed[H2734] against him shall be put to shame[H954].
25. In Jehovah[H3068] shall all the seed[H2233] of Israel[H3478] be justified[H6663], and shall glory[H1984].
