2. “I myself will prepare your way,levelling mountains and hills.I will break down bronze gatesand smash their iron bars.
3. I will give you treasures from dark, secret places;then you will know that I am the Lord,and that the God of Israel has called you by name.
4. I appoint you to help my servant Israel,the people that I have chosen.I have given you great honour,although you do not know me.
5. “I am the Lord; there is no other god.I will give you the strength you need,although you do not know me.
