Isaiah 44:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 I destroy the [a]tokens of the soothsayers, and make them that conjecture, fools, and turn the wise men backward, and make their knowledge foolishness.
26 ¶ He confirmeth the word of his [b]servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers, saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited: and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built up, and I will repair the decayed places thereof.
27 He saith to the [c]deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy floods.
