Isaiah 45:2

For He has shattered the doors of bronze And cut through the bars of iron.

“Wail, O gate; cry, O city; Melt away, O Philistia, all of you; For smoke comes from the north, And there is no straggler in his ranks.

Desolation remains in the city, And the gate is struck down to ruins.

“Who has awakened one from the east Whom He calls in righteousness to His feet? He gives up nations before him And has dominion over kings. He makes them like dust with his sword, As the wind-driven chaff with his bow.

“I have awakened him in righteousness, And I will make all his ways smooth; He will build My city and will let My exiles go, Without any payment or reward,” says Yahweh of hosts.

“I, even I, have spoken; indeed I have called him, I have brought him, and He will make his ways successful.

“Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You have broken the bars of a yoke made of wood, but you have made in their place the bars of a yoke made of iron.”

The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting; They inhabit the strongholds; Their might is dried up; They are becoming like women; Their dwelling places are set on fire; The bars of her gates are broken.

Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “The broad wall of Babylon will be completely razed, And her high gates will be set on fire; So the peoples will toil for nothing, And the nations become weary only for fire.”

“I have given him the land of Egypt for his work which he labored because they acted for Me,” declares Lord Yahweh.

“‘PERES’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

Behold, your people are women in your midst! The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies; Fire consumes your gate bars.
