Isaiah 45:2-7

Isaiah 45:2-7

[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. [5] I am the LORD,  and there is none else, there is no God  beside  me: I girded  thee, though thou hast not known  [6] That they may know  from the rising  of the sun,  and from the west,  that there is none  beside  me. I am the LORD,  [7] I form  the light,  and create  darkness:  I make  peace,  and create  evil:  I the LORD  do  all these things.
