25. who foils the signs of false prophetsand makes fools of diviners,who overthrows the learning of the wiseand turns it into nonsense,
26. who carries out the words of his servantsand fulfils the predictions of his messengers,who says of Jerusalem, “It shall be inhabited,”of the towns of Judah, “They shall be rebuilt,”and of their ruins, “I will restore them,”
27. who says to the watery deep, “Be dry,and I will dry up your streams,”
28. who says of Cyrus, “He is my shepherdand will accomplish all that I please;he will say of Jerusalem, ‘Let it be rebuilt,’and of the temple, ‘Let its foundations be laid.’ ”
