³⁵ Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

³⁶ Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great.

⁹ He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

⁶ and a spirit of justice to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.

¹ Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:

⁵ And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
