- 45 This is what Jehovah says to his anointed one, to Cyrus,+
  Whose right hand I have taken hold of+
  To subdue nations before him,+
  To disarm* kings,
  To open before him the double doors,
  So that the gates will not be shut:

  The kings of Meʹdi·a,+ its governors and all its deputy rulers
  And all the lands they rule over.
