25 I make liars of false prophetsand fools of fortunetellers.I take human wisdomand turn it into nonsense.
26 I will make the messageof my prophets come true.They are saying, “Jerusalemwill be filled with people,and the Lord will rebuildthe towns of Judah.”
27 I am the one who commandsthe sea and its streamsto run dry.
28 I am also the one who says,“Cyrus will lead my peopleand obey my orders.Jerusalem and the templewill be rebuilt.”
