Isaiah 13:3-5

3 I myself have commanded my consecrated ones,
and have summoned my mighty men to execute my anger,
my proudly exulting ones. ^{▼▼Or those who exult in my majesty}
4 The sound ^bof a tumult is on the mountains
as of a great multitude!
The sound of an uproar of kingdoms,
of nations gathering together!
^cThe Lord of hosts is mustering
a host for battle.
5 ^dThey come from a distant land,
from the end of the heavens,
the Lord and the weapons of his indignation,
to destroy the whole land. ^{▼▼Or earth; also verse 9}

Isaiah 21:2

2 A stern vision is told to me;
^fthe traitor betrays,
and the destroyer destroys.
Go up, O ^gElam;
lay siege, O ^hMedia;
all the ⁱsighing she has caused
I bring to an end.

Isaiah 41:25

25 ^jI stirred up one from the north, and he has come,
^kfrom the rising of the sun, ^land he shall call upon my name;
he shall trample on rulers as on mortar,
as the potter treads clay.

Jeremiah 50:9

9 For behold, I am stirring up and bringing against Babylon ^ma gathering of great nations, from the north country. And they shall array themselves against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.

Jeremiah 51:11

11 ⁿ“Sharpen the arrows!
Take up the shields!
^oThe Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of ^pthe Medes, because ^qhis purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, ^rfor that is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for ^shis temple.

Jeremiah 51:27-28

27 ^t“Set up a standard on the earth;
^ublow the trumpet among the nations;
^vprepare ^wthe nations for war against her;
summon against her ^xthe kingdoms,
^yArarat, Minni, and ^zAshkenaz;
appoint a ^aamarshal against her;
^abbring up horses like bristling locusts.
28 ^acPrepare ^adthe nations for war against her,
the kings of ^aethe Medes, ^afwith their governors ^agand deputies,
and every ^ahland under their dominion.

Daniel 5:28-31

28 Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to ^aithe Medes and ^ajPersians.” ^{▼▼ Peres (the singular of Parsin) sounds like the Aramaic for divided and for Persia}

29 Then ^alBelshazzar gave the command, and Daniel ^amwas clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was made about him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

30 ^anThat very night ^aoBelshazzar the ^apChaldean king was killed. 31 ^{▼▼Ch 6:1 in Aramaic} And ^arDarius ^asthe Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
