Chapter 45

1

THUS says Yahuah to his anointed, to Koresh, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

2

I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3

And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Yahuah, which call you by your name, am the Elohai of Yashar'el.

4

For Ya`aqov my servant's sake, and Yashar'el my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.

5

I am Yahuah, and there is none else, there is no Elohiym beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me:

6

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am Yahuah, and there is none else.

7

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I Yahuah do all these things.

8

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth yeshu`ah, and let righteousness spring up together; I Yahuah have created it.

9

Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What did you make? or your work, He has no hands?

10

Woe unto him that says unto his father, What did you beget? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?

11

Thus says Yahuah, the Holy One of Yashar'el, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

12

I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

13

I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says Yahuah Tseva'oth.

14

Thus says Yahuah, The labor of Mitsrayim, and merchandise of Kush and of the Sheva'iym, men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely El is in you; and there is none else, there is no Elohiym.

15

Truly you are an El that hides yourself, O Elohai of Yashar'el, the Savior.

16

They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.

17

But Yashar'el shall be saved in Yahuah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

18

For thus says Yahuah that created the heavens; Elohiym himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am Yahuah; and there is none else.

19

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Ya`aqov, Seek ye me in vain: I Yahuah speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

20

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto an el that cannot save.

21

Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I Yahuah? and there is no Elohiym else beside me; a just El and a Savior; there is none beside me.

22

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am El, and there is none else.

23

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

24

Surely, shall one say, in Yahuah have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

25

In Yahuah shall all the seed of Yashar'el be justified, and shall glory.
