44:21 Remember these things, Jacob and Israel;
for you are my servant.

44:26 who confirms the word of his servant,

who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’

45:1 Thus says The Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
