45:1 This is what the Lord says to his chosen 1 one,
to Cyrus, whose right hand I hold 2
in order to subdue nations before him,
and disarm kings, 3
to open doors before him,
so gates remain unclosed:
45:2 “I will go before you
and level mountains. 4
Bronze doors I will shatter
and iron bars 5 I will hack through.
45:3 I will give you hidden treasures, 6
riches stashed away in secret places,
so you may recognize that I am the Lord,
the one who calls you by name, the God of Israel.
51:58 This is what the Lord who rules over all 7 says,
“Babylon’s thick wall 8 will be completely demolished. 9
Her high gates will be set on fire.
The peoples strive for what does not satisfy. 10
The nations grow weary trying to get what will be destroyed.” 11
