6:28 So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and 2 the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
1:2 “Thus says King Cyrus of Persia:
“‘The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has instructed me to build a temple 3 for him in Jerusalem, 4 which is in Judah.
13:17 Look, I am stirring up the Medes to attack them; 12
they are not concerned about silver,
nor are they interested in gold. 13
21:2 I have received a distressing message: 14
“The deceiver deceives,
the destroyer destroys.
Attack, you Elamites!
Lay siege, you Medes!
I will put an end to all the groaning!” 15
44:28 who commissions 16 Cyrus, the one I appointed as shepherd 17
to carry out all my wishes 18
and to decree concerning Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’
and concerning the temple, ‘It will be reconstructed.’” 19
51:11 “Sharpen 20 your arrows!
Fill your quivers! 21
The Lord will arouse a spirit of hostility in 22 the kings of Media. 23
For he intends to destroy Babylonia.
For that is how the Lord will get his revenge –
how he will get his revenge for the Babylonians’ destruction of his temple. 24
