ISAIAH.
Chapter 45.
The Lord saith these things to my christ, Cyrus, whose right hand I took, that I make subject folks before his face, and turn the backs of kings; and I shall open the gates before him, and the gates shall not be closed. 
I shall go before thee, and I shall make low the glorious men of earth; I shall all-break the brazen gates, and I shall break altogether the iron bars. 
And I shall give hid treasures to thee, and the privy things of privates, that thou know, that I am the Lord, that call thy name, God of Israel, 
for my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, and I called thee by thy name; I likened thee, and thou knewest not me. 
I am the Lord, and there is no more; without me is no God. I have girded thee, and thou knewest not me. 
That they that be at the rising of the sun, and they that be at the west, know, that without me is no God. I am the Lord, and none other God is; 
forming light, and making dark-nesses, making peace, and forming evil; I am the Lord, doing all these things. 
Heavens, send ye out dew from above, and clouds, rain on a just or rightwise man; the earth be opened, and bring forth the saviour, and rightfulness or rightwiseness be born together; I the Lord have made him of nought. 
Woe to him that against-saith his maker, a tilestone of the earth of sands. Whether the clay saith to his potter, What makest thou, and thy work is without hands? 
Woe to him that saith to the father, What engenderest thou? and to a woman, What childest thou? 
The Lord, the Holy of Israel, the former thereof, saith these things, Ask ye me things to coming or to come on my sons, and send ye to me on the works of mine hands. 
I made earth, and I made a man on it; mine hands held abroad heavens, and I commanded to all the knighthood of them. 
I raised him to rightfulness or rightwiseness, and I shall address all his ways; he shall build my city, and he shall deliver my prisoners, not in price, neither in gifts, saith the Lord of hosts. 
The Lord God saith these things, The travail of Egypt, and the mer-chandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabeans; the high men shall go to thee, and shall be thine; they shall go after thee, they shall go bound in manacles, and shall worship thee, and shall beseech thee. They shall say, God is only in thee, and without thee is no God. 
Verily thou art God hid, God, the saviour of Israel. 
All makers of errors, that is, idols, be shamed, and were ashamed; they went together into confusion. 
Israel is saved in the Lord, by everlasting health; ye shall not be shamed, and ye shall not be ashamed, till into the world of world. 
For why the Lord making heavens of nought, saith these things; he is God forming earth, and making it, he is the maker thereof; he made it of nought, not in vain, but he formed it, that it be inhabited; I am the Lord, and none other is. 
I spake not in hid place, not in a dark place of earth; I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain. I am the Lord speaking rightfulness or rightwiseness, telling rightful or right things. 
Be ye gathered, and come ye, and nigh ye together, that be saved of heathen men; they that raise a sign of their engraving, knew not, and they pray a god that saveth not. 
Tell ye, and come ye, and take ye counsel together. Who made this heard from the beginning? from that time I before-said it. Whether I am not the Lord, and no God is further without me? a God rightful or rightwise and saving is none, besides me. 
All the coasts of earth, be ye converted to me, and ye shall be safe; for I am the Lord, and none other there is or and there is not another. 
I swore in myself, a word of rightfulness or rightwiseness shall go out of my mouth, and it shall not turn again; for each knee shall be bowed to me, and each tongue shall swear. 
Therefore they shall say in the Lord, Rightfulnesses or rightwisenesses and empire be mine; all that fight against him shall come to him, and shall be ashamed. 
All the seed of Israel shall be justified and praised in the Lord.
