Cyrus, the Lord’s Chosen One

45 This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, his anointed one,
    whose right hand he will empower.
Before him, mighty kings will be paralyzed with fear.
    Their fortress gates will be opened,

    and level the mountains.[a]
I will smash down gates of bronze
    and cut through bars of iron.
