約拿單的弓箭非流敵人的血不退縮；掃羅的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。

所有拉弓的，你們要在巴比倫的四圍擺陣，射箭攻擊她。不要愛惜箭枝，因她得罪了耶和華。

「因有一國從北方上來攻擊她，使她的地荒涼，無人居住，連人帶牲畜都逃走了。」

要在境內豎立大旗，在各國中吹角，使列國預備攻擊巴比倫，將亞拉臘、米尼、亞實基拿各國招來攻擊她；又派軍長來攻擊她，使馬匹上來如螞蚱，使列國和米底亞君王，與省長和副省長，並他們所管全地之人，都預備攻擊她。

你們要磨尖了箭頭，抓住盾牌。耶和華定意攻擊巴比倫，將她毀滅，所以激動了米底亞君王的心；因這是耶和華報仇，就是為自己的殿報仇。

耶和華如此說：我必使毀滅的風颳起，攻擊巴比倫和住在立加米的人。我要打發外邦人來到巴比倫，簸揚她，使她的地空虛。在她遭禍的日子，他們要周圍攻擊她。拉弓的，要向拉弓的和貫甲挺身的射箭。不要憐惜她的少年人；要滅盡她的全軍。他們必在迦勒底人之地被殺仆倒，在巴比倫的街上被刺透。

看哪，有一種民從北方而來，並有一大國和許多君王被激動，從地極來到。他們拿弓和槍，性情殘忍，不施憐憫；他們的聲音像海浪匉訇。巴比倫城啊，他們騎馬，都擺隊伍如上戰場的人，要攻擊你。

我也必使仇敵帶這掠物到你所不認識的地去，因我怒中起的火要將你們焚燒。」

波斯王塞魯士元年，耶和華為要應驗藉耶利米口所說的話，就激動波斯王塞魯士的心，使他下詔通告全國說：「波斯王塞魯士如此說：『耶和華天上的神已將天下萬國賜給我，又囑咐我在猶大的耶路撒冷為他建造殿宇。

應當在淨光的山豎立大旗，向羣眾揚聲招手，使他們進入貴冑的門。我吩咐我所挑出來的人；我招呼我的勇士－就是那矜誇高傲之輩，為要成就我怒中所定的。山間有多人的聲音，好像是大國人民。有許多國的民聚集鬨嚷的聲音；這是萬軍之耶和華點齊軍隊，預備打仗。他們從遠方來，從天邊來，就是耶和華並他惱恨的兵器要毀滅這全地。

我從北方興起一人；他是求告我名的，從日出之地而來。他必臨到掌權的，好像臨到灰泥，彷彿窰匠踹泥一樣。

你們要從極遠的邊界來攻擊她，開她的倉廩，將她堆如高堆，毀滅淨盡，絲毫不留。

我必激動米底亞人來攻擊他們。米底亞人不注重銀子，也不喜愛金子。他們必用弓擊碎少年人，不憐憫婦人所生的，眼也不顧惜孩子。

耶和華說：上去攻擊米拉大翁之地，又攻擊比割的居民。要追殺滅盡，照我一切所吩咐你的去行。

「招集一切弓箭手來攻擊巴比倫。要在巴比倫四圍安營，不要容一人逃脫，照着她所做的報應她；她怎樣待人，也要怎樣待她，因為她向耶和華－以色列的聖者發了狂傲。

令人悽慘的異象已默示於我。詭詐的行詭詐，毀滅的行毀滅。以攔哪，你要上去！米底亞啊，你要圍困！主說：我使一切歎息止住。

我－耶和華所膏的塞魯士；我攙扶他的右手，使列國降伏在他面前。我也要放鬆列王的腰帶，使城門在他面前敞開，不得關閉。我對他如此說：我必在你前面行，修平崎嶇之地。我必打破銅門，砍斷鐵閂。我要將暗中的寶物和隱密的財寶賜給你，使你知道提名召你的，就是我－耶和華、以色列的神。因我僕人雅各，我所揀選以色列的緣故，我就提名召你；你雖不認識我，我也加給你名號。
