The LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut: Jer 51:20-24Isa 42:6Isa 44:28Psa 73:23Isa 41:13Ezr 1:1Isa 45:5Jer 50:35
“I will go before you Isa 40:4Isa 42:16Luk 3:5Psa 107:16Jer 51:30Isa 13:4-17Act 1:15
and make the rough places smooth.
I will break the doors of bronze in pieces
and cut apart the bars of iron.
I will give you the treasures of darkness Isa 48:15Isa 43:1Exo 33:17Exo 33:12Ezr 1:2Jer 50:37Jer 51:53Isa 49:1
and hidden riches of secret places,
that you may know that it is I, the LORD, who calls you by your name,
even the God of Israel.
For Jacob my servant’s sake, Isa 41:8-9Act 17:23Exo 19:5-6Isa 44:1Rom 11:7Gal 4:8-9Isa 43:14Isa 44:28
and Israel my chosen,
I have called you by your name.
I have given you a title,
though you have not known me.
I am the LORD, and there is no one else. Isa 44:6Isa 44:8Isa 46:9Jol 2:271Ki 8:60Isa 45:21-22Deu 32:39Deu 4:35
Besides me, there is no God.
I will strengthen 1 you,
though you have not known me,
that they may know from the rising of the sun, Isa 37:20Isa 45:5Mal 1:11Psa 46:10Ezk 38:23Psa 83:181Sa 17:46-47Psa 102:15-16
and from the west,
that there is no one besides me.
I am the LORD, and there is no one else.
I form the light Ecc 7:13-14Amo 3:6Psa 75:7Job 2:10Isa 31:2Amo 4:13Jer 13:16Jer 31:35
and create darkness.
I make peace
and create calamity.
I am the LORD,
who does all these things.
Rain, you heavens, from above, Hos 10:12Isa 61:11Psa 72:61Co 3:6-9Isa 44:3Tit 3:3-6Jol 3:18Isa 11:1
and let the skies pour down righteousness.
Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation,
and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it.
I, the LORD, have created it.
Woe to him who strives with his Maker— Isa 64:8Rom 9:20-21Isa 10:15Isa 29:16Jer 18:6Pro 21:30Job 40:8-9Psa 2:2-9
a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth!
Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’
or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ Deu 27:16Mal 1:6Heb 12:9
or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
The LORD, the Holy One of Israel Jer 33:3Ezk 36:37Isa 48:17Mrk 11:24Eph 2:10Isa 29:23Hos 1:10Isa 43:21
and his Maker says:
“You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons,
and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
I have made the earth, and created man on it. Isa 42:5Isa 44:24Jer 27:5Gen 2:1Neh 9:6Isa 45:18Jer 32:17Heb 11:3
I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens.
I have commanded all their army.
I have raised him up in righteousness, Isa 41:22Ch 36:22-23Isa 13:17Isa 41:25Isa 49:25Isa 42:6Isa 46:111Pe 1:18-19
and I will make all his ways straight.
He shall build my city,
and he shall let my exiles go free,
not for price nor reward,” says the LORD of Armies.
The LORD says: “The labor of Egypt, Isa 49:231Co 14:25Jer 16:19Act 10:25-26Isa 61:5-6Zec 8:20-23Exo 11:8Ezk 23:42
and the merchandise of Ethiopia,
and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you,
and they will be yours.
They will go after you.
They shall come over in chains.
They will bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you:
‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else.
There is no other god.
Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, Isa 8:17Psa 44:24Isa 57:17Isa 46:13Psa 77:19Rom 11:33-34Isa 45:17Jhn 4:22
God of Israel, the Savior.’”
They will be disappointed, Isa 42:17Isa 44:11Isa 44:9Isa 41:19Isa 45:20Jer 10:14-15Jer 2:26-27Psa 97:7
yes, confounded, all of them.
Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation. Rom 10:11Psa 25:3Isa 54:41Pe 2:6Jol 2:26-27Isa 49:23Rom 9:33Isa 26:4
You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
For the LORD who created the heavens, Psa 115:16Jer 10:12Isa 42:5Isa 45:12Gen 1:2Ezk 36:10-12Gen 1:26Gen 1:28
the God who formed the earth and made it,
who established it and didn’t create it a waste,
who formed it to be inhabited says:
“I am the LORD.
There is no other.
I have not spoken in secret, Isa 48:16Amo 5:4Num 23:19-20Jer 29:13-14Pro 30:5Jhn 18:20Psa 9:10Jas 4:3
in a place of the land of darkness.
I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’
I, the LORD, speak righteousness.
I declare things that are right.
“Assemble yourselves and come. Isa 43:9Isa 44:17-20Jer 10:5Isa 4:2Isa 46:1Psa 115:81Ki 18:26-29Eph 2:12
Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations.
Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image,
and pray to a god that can’t save.
Declare and present it. Isa 45:5Isa 43:11Isa 43:9Isa 44:7-8Isa 46:9-10Tit 2:13-14Isa 43:3Isa 45:14
Yes, let them take counsel together.
Who has shown this from ancient time?
Who has declared it of old?
Haven’t I, the LORD?
There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior.
There is no one besides me.
“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; Jhn 6:40Mic 7:7Heb 12:2Num 21:8-9Zec 12:10Jhn 3:13-162Ch 20:12Isa 45:21
for I am God, and there is no other.
I have sworn by myself. Php 2:10Rom 14:10-12Isa 55:11Heb 6:13-18Deu 6:13Isa 45:19Isa 65:16Psa 63:11
The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked,
that to me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall take an oath.
They will say of me, Isa 41:11Isa 54:17Php 4:132Ti 4:17-18Eph 6:10Jhn 12:321Co 1:302Co 12:9-10
‘There is righteousness and strength only in the LORD.’”
Even to him will men come.
All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the LORD, Isa 41:161Co 6:11Gal 3:27-291Ch 16:131Co 1:31Act 13:39Isa 45:17Isa 45:19
and will rejoice!
