    I myself will go before you,
    and I will level high mountains.[a]
    I will break bronze doors into pieces,
    and I will cut through iron bars.
    I will give you treasures hidden in darkness
    and riches concealed in secret places,
    so that you will acknowledge that I am the Lord,
    the one who calls you by name, the God of Israel.
    For the sake of my servant Jacob,
    for the sake of Israel my chosen one,
    I will call you by your name.
    I will give you an honored name, though you do not know me.
