25. That frustrates the omens of the liars, and makes diviners mad; that turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
26. That confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; that says to Jerusalem, you shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, you shall be built, and I will raise up its waste places:
27. That says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers:
28. That says of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be built; and to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.
