Isaiah 45:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² ‘I will march out ahead of you.
    I will make the mountains level.
I will break down bronze gates.
    I will cut through their heavy iron bars.
³ I will give you treasures that are hidden away.
    I will give you riches that are stored up in secret places.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
    I am the God of Israel.
    I am sending for you by name.
⁴ Cyrus, I am sending for you by name.
    I am doing it for the good of the family of Jacob.
    They are my servant.
I am doing it for Israel.
    They are my chosen people.
You do not know anything about me.
    But I am giving you a title of honor.
