I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
I have raised him up ... he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward
- Cyrus, type of Messiah, who redeems the captives of Satan "without money and without price" (Isaiah 55:1), "freely" (gratuitously) (Isaiah 52:3; Isaiah 61:1; Zechariah 9:11; Romans 3:24).
In righteousness - to fulfill my righteous purpose (note, Isaiah 41:2; Isaiah 42:6; Jeremiah 23:6).
