Thus says the LORD to His Messiah,
To Cyrus, whose right hand He wields,
To throw down Nations at his sight,
And make the kingdoms bare;
To open doors before his face,
Nor shall the gates be shut.
‘ I will precede,and level hills,
And I will smash the doors of bronze,
And break the iron-bolted bars I
And give to you the darkened hoards,
And treasures from the cells,
That you may know that I, the LORD,
Who calledyour name, am Israel’s GOD.
For ]acob’s sake., My friend,
And Israel's whom I chose
I call you by your name,
To an Office you know not!
I am the LIFE and none beside,
Except Mvsncr there is no Goo;
Though you knew not, I fixed your belt!
To teach them from the rising-sun,
And from where evening fades away,
That I am LIFE, and none beside!
Who formed the Light? Created Gloom?
Who Good has made ? Created Bad?
Myself, the LORD, made all 2
Skies! from above drop dew,
You clouds rain Goodness down,
Earth open and yieldjustice,
And Right grow up at once,
As I the LORD create I ’

Ah ! He tights with his former!
The pot with the worker of clay!
Does the paste ask, the artist,
Why, what have you made P
And the product, deny you have skill P
Shame who asks of his father,
‘ What_have you begot
Who demands from his mother
‘ What have you brought forth ?
Thus asks the LORD, Israel's HOLY,
Who formed the events,
Do you carp at My sons P
Flout the work of My hands?
I made Earth and the Men upon her-;
And My hand has stretched out the skies,
And I all their armies command,
I raised him to rule, and made. all his paths smooth,
He will build Me a City, My captives set free,
says the ALMIGHTY LORD!
