45 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To ^(A)Cyrus, whose ^(B)right hand I have ^[a]held—
^(C)To subdue nations before him
And ^(D)loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:

²¹ And He changes ^(A)the times and the seasons;
^(B)He removes kings and raises up kings;
^(C)He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
