Isaiah 45:2

2 “I will go before you
and level mountains. ^{▼▼ The form הֲדוּרִים (hadurim) makes little, if any, sense here. It is probably a corruption of an original הָרָרִים (hararim, “mountains”), the reduplicated form of הָר (har, “mountain”).}
Bronze doors I will shatter
and iron bars ^{▼▼ That is, on the gates. Cf. CEV “break the iron bars on bronze gates.”} I will hack through.
