Isaiah 45 (kjv)

45

Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388, to subdueH7286 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605 the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605 beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 shall not be shutH5462;2I will goH3212 beforeH6440 thee, and makeH3474 the crooked placesH1921 straightH3474 H3474: I will break in piecesH7665 the gatesH1817 of brassH5154, and cut in sunderH1438 the barsH1280 of ironH1270:3And I will giveH5414 thee the treasuresH214 of darknessH2822, and hidden richesH4301 of secret placesH4565, that thou mayest knowH3045 that I, the LORDH3068, which callH7121 thee by thy nameH8034, am the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.4For JacobH3290 my servant'sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine electH972, I have even calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamedH3655 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me.

5I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else, there is no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me:6That they may knowH3045 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121, and from the westH4628, that there is noneH657 besideH1107 me. I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else.7I formH3335 the lightH216, and createH1254 darknessH2822: I makeH6213 peaceH7965, and createH1254 evilH7451: I the LORDH3068 doH6213 all these things.8Drop downH7491, ye heavensH8064, from aboveH4605, and let the skiesH7834 pour downH5140 righteousnessH6664: let the earthH776 openH6605, and let them bring forthH6509 salvationH3468, and let righteousnessH6666 spring upH6779 togetherH3162; I the LORDH3068 have createdH1254 it.9WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378 with his MakerH3335 ! Let the potsherdH2789 strive with the potsherdsH2789 of the earthH127. Shall the clayH2563 sayH559 to him that fashionethH3335 it, What makestH6213 thou? or thy workH6467, He hath no handsH3027?10WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559 unto his fatherH1, What begettestH3205 thou? or to the womanH802, What hast thou brought forthH2342?11Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and his MakerH3335, AskH7592 me of things to comeH857 concerning my sonsH1121, and concerning the workH6467 of my handsH3027 commandH6680 ye me.12I have madeH6213 the earthH776, and createdH1254 manH120 upon it: I, even my handsH3027, have stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064, and all their hostH6635 have I commandedH6680.13I have raised him upH5782 in righteousnessH6664, and I will directH3474 all his waysH1870: he shall buildH1129 my cityH5892, and he shall let goH7971 my captivesH1546, not for priceH4242 nor rewardH7810, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.14Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The labourH3018 of EgyptH4714, and merchandiseH5505 of EthiopiaH3568 and of the SabeansH5436, menH582 of statureH4060, shall come overH5674 unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall comeH3212 afterH310 thee; in chainsH2131 they shall come overH5674, and they shall fall downH7812 unto thee, they shall make supplicationH6419 unto thee, saying, Surely GodH410 is in thee; and there is none else, there is noH657 GodH430.15VerilyH403 thou art a GodH410 that hidestH5641 thyself, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, the SaviourH3467.16They shall be ashamedH954, and also confoundedH3637, all of them: they shall goH1980 to confusionH3639 togetherH3162 that are makersH2796 of idolsH6736.17But IsraelH3478 shall be savedH3467 in the LORDH3068 with an everlastingH5769 salvationH8668: ye shall not be ashamedH954 nor confoundedH3637 worldH5769 without endH5703.18For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 that createdH1254 the heavensH8064; GodH430 himself that formedH3335 the earthH776 and madeH6213 it; he hath establishedH3559 it, he createdH1254 it not in vainH8414, he formedH3335 it to be inhabitedH3427: I am the LORDH3068; and there is none else.19I have not spokenH1696 in secretH5643, in a darkH2822 placeH4725 of the earthH776: I saidH559 not unto the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, SeekH1245 ye me in vainH8414: I the LORDH3068 speakH1696 righteousnessH6664, I declareH5046 things that are rightH4339.

20AssembleH6908 yourselves and comeH935; draw nearH5066 togetherH3162, ye that are escapedH6412 of the nationsH1471: they have no knowledgeH3045 that set upH5375 the woodH6086 of their graven imageH6459, and prayH6419 unto a godH410 that cannot saveH3467.21TellH5046 ye, and bring them nearH5066; yea, let them take counselH3289 togetherH3162: who hath declaredH8085 this from ancient timeH6924? who hath toldH5046 it from that time? have not I the LORDH3068? and there is no GodH430 else besideH1107 me; a justH6662 GodH410 and a SaviourH3467; there is noneH369 besideH2108 me.22LookH6437 unto me, and be ye savedH3467, all the endsH657 of the earthH776: for I am GodH410, and there is none else.23I have swornH7650 by myself, the wordH1697 is gone outH3318 of my mouthH6310 in righteousnessH6666, and shall not returnH7725, That unto me every kneeH1290 shall bowH3766, every tongueH3956 shall swearH7650.24Surely, shall one sayH559, in the LORDH3068 have I righteousnessH6666 and strengthH5797: even to him shall men comeH935; and all that are incensedH2734 against him shall be ashamedH954.25In the LORDH3068 shall all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 be justifiedH6663, and shall gloryH1984.
