Chapter 45

1Thus said Hashem to Cyrus, His anointed one— Whose right hand He has grasped, Treading down nations before him, Ungirding the loins of kings, Opening doors before him And letting no gate stay shut:

14Thus said Hashem: Egypt's wealth and Nubia's gains And Sabaites, long of limb, Shall pass over to you and be yours, Pass over and follow you in fetters, Bow low to you And reverently address you: “Only among you is Hashem, There is no other god at all!

18For thus said Hashem, The Creator of heaven who alone is Hashem, Who formed the earth and made it, Who alone established it— He did not create it a waste, But formed it for habitation: I am Hashem, and there is none else.
