Frustrating the signs and confounding the omens of boasters (false prophets),
Making fools out of [a]fortune-tellers,
Counteracting the wise
And making their knowledge ridiculous,(A)

Confirming the word of His servant
And carrying out the plan of His messengers.
It is I who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall [again] be inhabited!’
And of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall [again] be built.’
And I will raise up and restore her ruins.
27 
It is I who says to the deep, ‘Be dried up!’
And I will make your rivers dry.
