1. 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:
2. "I will go before you,and make the rough places smooth.I will break the doors of brass in pieces,and cut apart the bars of iron.
The LORD of Armies says:"The wide walls of BABYLON will be utterly overthrown.Her high gates will be burned with fire.The peoples will labor for vanity,and the nations for the fire;and they will be weary."
