1 The Lord said to Cyrus, his chosen one:I have taken holdof your right handto help you capture nationsand remove kings from power.City gates will open for you;not one will stay closed.
2 As I lead you,I will level mountainsand break the iron barson bronze gates of cities.
3 I will give you treasureshidden in darkand secret places.Then you will know that I,the Lord God of Israel,have called you by name.
4 Cyrus, you don't even know me!But I have called you by nameand highly honoured youbecause of Israel,my chosen servant.
