277 : Basic English : Isaiah 45,46,47; Galatians 1 ) 1. The Lord says to the man of his selection, to Cyrus, whom I have taken by the right hand, putting down nations before him, and taking away the arms of kings; making the doors open before him, so that the ways into the towns may not be shut;
2. I will go before you, and make the rough places level: the doors of brass will be broken, and the iron rods cut in two:
3. And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.
4. Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.
5. I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God but me: I will make you ready for war, though you had no knowledge of me:
