28 The One saying of Cyrus,+ ‘He is my shepherd,

And he will completely carry out all my will’;+

The One saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’

28 Appoint* against her the nations,

The kings of Meʹdi·a,+ its governors and all its deputy rulers

And all the lands they rule over.

29 And the earth will quake and tremble,

For the thoughts of Jehovah against Babylon will be carried out

To make the land of Babylon an object of horror, without an inhabitant.+
