25 I bring to nought the omens of babblers, make fools of diviners, Turn back the wise and make their knowledge foolish.

26 I confirm the words of my servant, carry out the plan my messengers announce. I say to Jerusalem, Be inhabited! To the cities of Judah, Be rebuilt! I will raise up their ruins.

27 I say to the deep, Be dry! I will dry up your rivers.

28 I say of Cyrus, My shepherd! He carries out my every wish, Saying of Jerusalem, “Let it be rebuilt,” and of the temple, “Lay its foundations.”
