The Decree of Cyrus
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia,(A) the word of the Lord spoken through[a] Jeremiah(B) was fulfilled. The Lord put it into the mind of King Cyrus(C) of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his entire kingdom and also to put it in writing:
23 This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build Him a temple at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you of His people may go up, and may the Lord his God be with him.
