2 I will go before thee, and make the [a]crooked straight: I will break the brazen doors, and burst the iron bars.
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and the things hid in secret places, that thou mayest [b]know that I am the Lord which call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant’s [c]sake, and Israel mine elect, I will even call thee by thy name, and name thee, though thou hast not known me.
