Jerusalem Restored through Cyrus

24 Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer,
    and he who formed you in[a] the womb:
“I am Yahweh, who made everything,
    who stretched out the heavens alone,
    who spread out the earth—who was with me?—
25 who frustrates[b] the signs of oracle priests
    and makes a fool of diviners,
who drives the wise men back
    and makes their knowledge foolish,
26 who keeps[c] the word of his servant
    and carries out the plan of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘It shall be inhabited,’
    and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,
    and I will restore its ruins’;
