For I Yahweh your God,
the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior,
give Egypt as a ransom for you,
Cush and Seba in your place.

I am Yahweh, who made everything;
who stretched out the heavens by Myself;
who alone spread out the earth;

The Lord says this to Cyrus, His anointed,
whose right hand I have grasped
to subdue nations before him,
to disarm kings,
to open the doors before him
and the gates will not be shut:

Announce to the nations;
proclaim and raise up a signal flag;
proclaim, and hide nothing.
Say: Babylon is captured;
Bel is put to shame;
Marduk is devastated;
her idols are put to shame;
her false gods, devastated.

This is what the Lord says:

I am about to stir up a destructive wind against Babylon
and against the population of Leb-qamai.

Rejoice over her, heaven,
and you saints, apostles, and prophets,
because God has executed your judgment on her!

“I will go before you
and level the uneven places;

I will shatter the bronze doors
