Regarding pagan King Cyrus of Persia:
“I am the Lord, and there is no other;
Besides Me there is no God.
I will gird you, **though you have not known Me;**
That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun
That there is no one besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other,
The One forming light and creating darkness,
Causing well-being and creating calamity;
I am the Lord who does all these.”
— Isaiah 45:5-7 NASB1995 (Emphasis mine)
