26. I make the messages of my servants come true;I make the advice of my messengers come true.I say to Jerusalem,‘People will live in you again!’I say to the towns of Judah,‘You will be built again!’I say to Jerusalem’s ruins,‘I will repair you.’
27. I tell the deep waters, ‘Become dry!I will make your streams become dry!’
28. I say of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherdand will do all that I want him to do.He will say to Jerusalem, “You will be built again!”He will tell the Temple, “Your foundations will be rebuilt.” ’ ”
