²⁵ “I have stirred^(A) up one from the north,^(B) and he comes—
    one from the rising sun who calls on my name.

⁴ Listen, a noise on the mountains,
    like that of a great multitude!^(A)

    an army for war.

¹⁷ See, I will stir up^(A) against them the Medes,^(B)
    who do not care for silver
    and have no delight in gold.^(C)

²⁸ who says of Cyrus,^(A) ‘He is my shepherd
    and will accomplish all that I please;
he will say of Jerusalem,^(B) “Let it be rebuilt,”
    and of the temple,^(C) “Let its foundations^(D) be laid.”’
