Isaiah 44:25-27

New Life Version

²⁵ I allow trouble to come on the special things done by men who lie and speak in pride. I make fools out of those who tell the future using their secret ways. I turn back wise men, and make their learning foolish. ²⁶ I make the word of My servant sure, and act upon the words of the men who speak for Me. It is I Who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will have people living in her,’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be built.’ And I will build her up again. ²⁷ It is I Who says to the deep sea, ‘Dry up!’ And I will dry up your rivers.
