Read in context

Isaiah 45:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 “I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.

4 For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.

5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,

6 so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.
