Before him, mighty kings will be paralyzed with fear.
Their fortress gates will be opened,
never to shut again.

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

secret riches.
I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
