Isaiah 45:2

New American Standard Bible

²“I will go before you and ^(A)make the ^[a]rough places smooth;
I will ^(B)shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron ^(C)bars.

Isaiah 45:2

New Living Translation

²This is what the Lord says:

“I will go before you, Cyrus,
and level the mountains.^[a]
I will smash down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.

45:2 As in Dead Sea Scrolls and Greek version; Masoretic Text reads the swellings.

²As I lead you,
I will level mountains^[a]
and break the iron bars
on bronze gates of cities.

45.2 mountains: The Dead Sea Scrolls and one ancient translation; the Standard Hebrew Text “rising waves.”

²I will go in front of you
and make the mountains flat.
I will break the city gates of bronze
and cut the iron bars on the gates.

²I will go before you, Cyrus, and level the mountains and smash down the city gates of brass and iron bars.
