    to Cyrus,^(B) whose right hand I take hold^(C) of
to subdue nations^(D) before him
    and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
    so that gates will not be shut:

he will say of Jerusalem,^(B) “Let it be rebuilt,”

    my weapon for battle—
with you I shatter^(B) nations,^(C)
    with you I destroy kingdoms,
²¹ with you I shatter horse and rider,^(D)
    with you I shatter chariot^(E) and driver,
²² with you I shatter man and woman,
    with you I shatter old man and youth,
    with you I shatter young man and young woman,^(F)
23 with you I shatter shepherd and flock,
    with you I shatter farmer and oxen,
    with you I shatter governors and officials.^(G)
