Isaiah 45:1-2

Christian Standard Bible

45 The Lord says this to Cyrus, his anointed,^(A)
whose right hand I have grasped^(B)
to subdue nations before him
and disarm^[a] kings,^(C)
to open doors before him,
and even city gates will not be shut:
² “I will go before you
and level the uneven places;^[b](D)
I will shatter the bronze doors
and cut the iron bars in two.^(E)
