isaiah 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

isaiah 45:2 "I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze, and cut through their iron bars.

2. crooked . . . straight-- (Isa 40:4), rather, "maketh mountains plain" [LOWTH], that is, clear out of thy way all opposing persons and things. The Keri reads as in Isa 45:13, "make straight" (Margin).
gates of brass-- (Ps 107:16). HERODOTUS (1.179) says, Babylon had a hundred massive gates, twenty-five on each of the four sides of the city, all, as well as their posts, of brass.
bars of iron--with which the gates were fastened.

isaiah 45:2 "I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze, and cut through their iron bars.
