Isaiah 45:2
Douay-Rheims
I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.
Ibn Ezra
I. The support of God or the heavenly prince of Persia is to be understood; comp. Dan. 10:20. והדורים The crooked places. It is the opposite of ישר straight. Some derive it from הדר glory; it means mountains, and is as to its form either adjective or participle passive. דלתות The doors that are in the gates of the city.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
