I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

The verse 7 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.

der ich das Licht mache und schaffe die Finsternis, der ich Frieden gebe und schaffe das Übel. Ich bin der HERR, der solches alles tut.
Que formo la luz y crío las tinieblas, que hago la paz y crío el mal. Yo Jehová que hago todo esto.
Yo formo la luz y creo las tinieblas, hago la paz y creo la adversidad. Yo, Jehová, hago todas estas cosas.
Je forme la lumière, et je crée les ténèbres, Je donne la prospérité, et je crée l'adversité; Moi, l'Eternel, je fais toutes ces choses.
che formo la luce, e creo le tenebre; che fo la pace, e creo il male. Io sono il Signore, che fo tutte queste cose.
Eu formo a luz, e crio as trevas; eu faço a paz, e crio o mal; eu, o SENHOR, faço todas estas coisas.
我造光,又造暗; 施平安,又降災禍; 做成這一切的是我-耶和華。
