The verse 10 is found in chapter 45 of Isaiah. Cyrus is called Yahweh’s anointed and receives authority to open doors and subdue nations, even though he may not personally know the God who uses him. The choice of a foreign ruler emphasizes divine sovereignty over empires. The ultimate purpose is not to glorify Cyrus, but to show that there is no God besides Yahweh.

Weh dem, der zum Vater sagt: Warum hast du mich gezeugt? und zum Weibe: Warum gebierst du?
¡Ay del que dice al padre: ¿Por qué engendraste? y a la mujer: ¿Por qué pariste?
¡Ay del que dice a un padre: “¿Qué engendras?”, y a una mujer: “¿Qué das a luz?”!».
Malheur à qui dit à son père: Pourquoi m'as-tu engendré? Et à sa mère: Pourquoi m'as-tu enfanté?
Guai a chi dice al padre: Che generi? ed alla donna: Che partorisci?
Ai daquele que diz ao pai: Que é o que geras? E à mulher: Que dás tu à luz?
有人對父親說, 『你生的是甚麼』, 對母親 說, 『你生產的是甚麼』; 這人有禍了!」
