For this is what the LORD says—
he who created the heavens,
he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,
he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited—

He says:
“I am the LORD,
and there is no other.

I have not spoken in secret,
from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,
‘Seek me in vain.’

I, the LORD, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.
- Is 45:18-19

God has led me to Is 45 and the subsequent chapters a lot this week. The story of Cyrus speaks to me deeply.
