Isaiah 45:1-4

Isaiah 45:1-4

[1] Thus saith  the LORD  to his anointed,  to Cyrus,  whose right hand  I have holden,  to subdue  nations  before  him; and I will loose  the loins  of kings,  to open  before  him the two leaved gates;  and the gates  shall not be shut;  [2] before  the crooked places  straight:  I will break in pieces  the gates  of brass,  and cut in sunder  the bars  of iron:  [3] And I will give  thee the treasures  of darkness,  and hidden riches  of secret places,  that thou mayest know  that I, the LORD,  which call  thee by thy name,  am the God  of Israel.  [4] For Jacob  my servant's  sake, and Israel  mine elect,  I have even called  thee by thy name:  I have surnamed  thee, though thou hast not known  me.
