After listening to 20+ students talk about Isaiah 45:1-13, I’ve concluded that it’s a chiasm:

A. Cyrus’ way is smoothed as the Lord shatters city gates and gives him treasures, vv 1-4

B. Yahweh the Creator does this to make Himself known, vv 5-7

C. Righteousness rains down and produces a crop of righteousness, v 8

B’. Yahweh makes Adam/Israel from earth and stretches the heavens, vv 9-12

A’. Yahweh smooths Cyrus’ way so he can build Yahweh’s city, v 13
