²⁸ who says of Cyrus,^(A) ‘He is my shepherd
    and will accomplish all that I please;
he will say of Jerusalem,^(B) “Let it be rebuilt,”
    and of the temple,^(C) “Let its foundations^(D) be laid.”’

45 “This is what the Lord says to his anointed,^(E)
    to Cyrus,^(F) whose right hand I take hold^(G) of
to subdue nations^(H) before him
    and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
    so that gates will not be shut:

¹² It is I who made the earth^(A)
    and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;^(B)
    I marshaled their starry hosts.^(C)
13 I will raise up Cyrus^[a](D) in my righteousness:
    I will make all his ways straight.^(E)
He will rebuild my city^(F)
    and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,^(G)
    says the Lord Almighty.”
