Yeshayah 45:5-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

5. I am Hashem, and there is none other, there is no Elohim besides Me; I equipped thee, though thou hast not known Me;

6. That they may know from the rising of the shemesh, even to the ma'arav (west, setting place of the sun), that there is none apart from Me. I am Hashem, and there is no other [Elohim].

7. I form ohr, and create choshech; I make shalom, and create rah; I Hashem worketh all these things.

8. Cause [the rain] to trickle down, ye Shomayim, from above, and let the blue sky pour down tzedek; let eretz open, and let Yesha (salvation) blossom, and let tzedakah (righteousness) tatzmiach (spring up; Tzemach) together; I Hashem have created it.

9. Woe unto him that quarreleth with his Yotzer-a potsherd among the potsherds of adamah. Shall the chomer (clay) say to the Yotzer of it, What art Thou making? Or Thy po'al (work) hath no handles?

10. Woe unto him that saith unto his Av, What begettest thou? Or to the isha, What hast thou given birth to?

11. Thus saith Hashem, Kadosh Yisroel, and its Yotzer, Will ye ask Me of otiyyot (things to come, future things) concerning My banim, and will ye command Me regarding the po'al of My hands?

12. I made Eretz, and I created adam upon it; I, even My hands, have stretched out Shomayim, and all their tzeva have I commanded.

13. I have aroused him [Cyrus] in tzedek, and I will make straight all the darkhei of him; he shall rebuild my city, and he shall release of the Golus of Mine, not for price nor reward, saith Hashem Tzva'os.

14. Thus saith Hashem, The toil of Mitzrayim, and merchandise of Kush and of the Seva'im (Sabeans, those from Seba in Arabia), men of tall stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall cast themselves down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely El (G-d) is with thee; and there is none other, no other Elohim.

15. Verily Thou art El (G-d) that hidest Thyself, O Elohei Yisroel, Moshi'a.

16. They shall be put to shame, and also confounded, all of them; they shall go to confusion together that are charashei tzirim (crafters of images, idols).
