Thus saith the Lord to his Anointed, to Cyrus whose right hande I haue holden, to subdue nations before him: and I will loose the loines of kings to open before him the two leaued gates, and the gates shall not be shut.

I will goe before thee, and make the crooked places straight, I wil break in pieces the gates of brasse, and cut in sunder the barres of yron.

And I will giue thee the treasures of darkenesse, & hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know, that I the Lord which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

For Iacob my seruants sake, and Israel mine elect, I haue euen called thee by thy name: I haue surnamed thee, though thou hast not knowen me.

I am the Lord, and there is none els, there is no God besides me: I girded thee, though thou hast not knowen me:

That they may knowe from the rising of the Sun, and from the West, that there is none besides me, I am the Lord, and there is none else.

I forme the light, and create darkenesse: I make peace, and create euill: I the Lord do all these things.
