²⁸ It is I who says of ^(A)Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd,
And he will carry out all My desire.’
And ^[a]he says of Jerusalem, ‘^(B)She will be built,’
And of the temple, ‘^[b]Your foundation will be laid.’”

45 This is what the Lord says to ^(A)Cyrus His anointed,
Whom I have taken by the right ^(B)hand,
To ^(C)subdue nations before him
And ^[a]to ^(D)undo the weapons belt on the waist of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
