約拿單的弓不縮回，掃羅的刀也不空回，除非沾了被殺者的血，沾了勇士的脂油。

你們當在光禿的山上豎起旗幟，向他們揚聲，揮手使他們進入高貴者的門！為了成就我的怒氣，我已吩咐我所分別出來的人，我已召喚我的勇士，就是那些為我威榮歡騰的人。聽啊，山上喧囂，好像有眾多的民！聽啊，列國喧嚷，列邦聚集！萬軍之耶和華正在召集作戰的軍隊。他們從遙遠之地、從天邊而來——耶和華和他憤怒的器皿正來毀滅全地。

我從北方興起一人；他從日出之地而來，他必呼求我的名。他必把掌權者像泥土一樣踐踏，如同陶匠踹踏陶泥。

耶和華緊拉著居魯士的右手，讓列國降服在他面前，使君王們的腰帶鬆開；又讓門在他面前敞開，使城門也不關閉——耶和華對所膏立的居魯士如此說：「我必在你前面行，修平崎嶇之地；我要打碎銅門，砍斷鐵閂。我要把暗處的寶物和隱祕處的寶藏賜給你，好讓你知道：是我耶和華以色列的神提你的名召喚了你。為我僕人雅各、我所揀選的以色列的緣故，我提你的名召喚你；你雖然不認識我，我卻給你一個尊名。
