25. Who frustrates the signs of the babblers,And drives diviners mad;Who turns wise men backward,And makes their knowledge foolishness;
26. Who confirms the word of His servant,And performs the counsel of His messengers;Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’And I will raise up her waste places;
27. Who says to the deep, ‘Be dry!And I will dry up your rivers’;
28. Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd,And he shall perform all My pleasure,Saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be built,”And to the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.” ’
