²⁸ who says of Cyrus,^(A) ‘He is my shepherd
    and will accomplish all that I please;
he will say of Jerusalem,^(B) “Let it be rebuilt,”
    and of the temple,^(C) “Let its foundations^(D) be laid.”’

45 “This is what the Lord says to his anointed,^(A)
    to Cyrus,^(B) whose right hand I take hold^(C) of
to subdue nations^(D) before him
    and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
    so that gates will not be shut:
² I will go before you^(E)
    and will level^(F) the mountains^[a];
I will break down gates^(G) of bronze
    and cut through bars of iron.^(H)
3 I will give you hidden treasures,^(I)
    riches stored in secret places,^(J)
so that you may know^(K) that I am the Lord,
    the God of Israel, who summons you by name.^(L)
4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,^(M)
    of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
    and bestow on you a title of honor,
    though you do not acknowledge^(N) me.

¹³ I will raise up Cyrus^[a](A) in my righteousness:
    I will make all his ways straight.^(B)
He will rebuild my city^(C)
    and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,^(D)
    says the Lord Almighty.”

¹¹ From the east I summon^(A) a bird of prey;^(B)
    from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
    what I have planned,^(C) that I will do.^(D)
