Calling a ravenous bird; Cyrus, called a bird for his swiftness and great expedition, and ravenous for his fierceness and victoriousness over his enemies. From the east; from Persia, as Isaiah 41:2. That executeth my counsel, concerning the deliverance of my people, and the destruction of their cruel oppressors, the Babylonians. From a far country; from Persia, which was far from Babylon, but much farther from Judea.
