Isaiah 44:24-28;-45:5-13

"Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: 'I am the LORD, who makes all things,... Who says of Cyrus, ""He is my shepherd, and he shall perform all My pleasure, saying to Jerusalem, ''You shall be built,'' and to the temple, ''Your foundation shall be laid.''""

"'thus says the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held–to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: ""I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.  I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by name, am the God of Israel.  For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.  I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me....""

"'I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he shall build My city and let My exiles go free, not for price nor reward,' says the LORD of hosts."
