2 A stern vision is told to me;
wthe traitor betrays,
Go up, O xElam;
lay siege, O yMedia;
all the zsighing she has caused
11 i“Sharpen the arrows!
jThe Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of kthe Medes, because lhis purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, mfor that is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for mhis temple.
28 dPrepare ethe nations for war against her,
the kings of kthe Medes, lwith their governors land deputies,
and every mland under their dominion.
