to subdue nations before him
and ^hto loose the belts of kings,
to open doors before him
that gates may not be closed:

and ⁱlevel the exalted places, ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint level the mountains}
^kI will break in pieces the doors of bronze
and cut through the bars of iron,

and the hoards in secret places,
that you may know that it is I, the Lord,
the God of Israel, ^mwho call you by your name.
