Isaiah 45:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 I myself will advance before you
and level the mountains;
I will tear down bronze gates[a]
and cut through bars of iron.
3 I will give you treasures concealed in darkness
and riches hidden away in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel who calls you by your name.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob
and of Israel my chosen one,
I have called you by your name,
and I have given you a title,
even though you do not know me.
