Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
Scharpe ye arowis, fille ye arowe caasis; þe Lord reiside þe spirit of þe kyngis of Medeis, and his mynde is ayen Babiloyne, þat he leese it, for it is þe veniaunce of þe Lord, þe veniaunce of his temple. Þe kyng of Medeis is reisid of þe Lord ayens Babiloyne.
