¹⁶ For He has ^(A)broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.

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:
² ‘I will go before you
^(E)And^[b] make the ^[c]crooked places straight;
^(F)I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.

¹³ The one who breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
^(A)Their king will pass before them,
^(B)With the Lord at their head.”
