²⁴ Thus says Adonai,
your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb:
“I am Adonai, Maker of all things,
    stretching out the heavens alone,
    spreading the earth abroad by Myself,
²⁵ causing the omens of boasters to fail,
    making fools of diviners,
    turning wise men backward
    and making their knowledge foolish,
²⁶ while confirming the word of His servant,
fulfilling the counsel of His messengers,
saying of Jerusalem, “She will be lived in”
    and of the cities of Judah, “They will be built,
        and I will raise up their ruins,”
