24 The Lord your redeemerwho formed you in the womb says:I am the Lord, the maker of all,who alone stretched out the heavens,who spread out the earth by myself,
25 who frustrates the omens of divinersand makes a mockery of magicians,who turns back the wiseand turns their knowledge into folly.
26 But who confirms the word of my servant,and fulfills the predictions of my messengers;who says about Jerusalem, "It will be resettled";and who says about the cities of Judah, "They will be rebuilt,and I will restore their ruins";
27 who says to the ocean depths,"Dry up; I will dry your streams";
28 who says about Cyrus, "My shepherd—he will do all that I want";who says about Jerusalem,"She will be rebuilt";and who says about the temple,"You will be founded once again."
