Thus saith the Lord to his anointed to Cyrus whose right hand I have holden 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 I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight I will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut in sunder the bars of iron And I will give thee the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that thou mayest know that I the Lord which call thee by thy name am the God of Israel
