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

⁵ I am the Lord, and there is no other;^(A)
    apart from me there is no God.^(B)
I will strengthen you,^(C)
    though you have not acknowledged me,

“‘I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt
    by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar^(A) king of Babylon.^(B)

¹² I will strengthen^(A) them in the Lord
    and in his name they will live securely,^(B)”
declares the Lord.
