23 Sing with joy, you heavens, because Yahweh has done this.
    Rejoice, you deep places of the earth.
    Break into shouts of joy, you mountains,
    you forests and every tree in them.
        Yahweh has reclaimed Jacob.
            He will display his glory in Israel.

Through Cyrus the Lord Will Set Israel Free

24 Yahweh reclaimed you.
    He formed you in the womb.

This is what Yahweh says:

I, Yahweh, made everything.
    I stretched out the heavens by myself.
    I spread out the earth all alone.
25 I cause the signs of false prophets to fail
    and make fools of fortunetellers.
    I make wise men retreat
    and turn their knowledge into foolishness.
