Holman Christian Standard Bible
Restoration of Israel through Cyrus
24 This is what the Lord, your Redeemer(A) who formed you from the womb,(B) says:
I am Yahweh, who made everything;
who stretched out the heavens by Myself;(C)
who alone spread out the earth;
25 who destroys the omens of the false prophets
and makes fools of diviners;
who confounds the wise
and makes their knowledge foolishness;(D)
26 who confirms the message of His servant
and fulfills the counsel of His messengers;
who says to Jerusalem, “She will be inhabited,”
and to the cities of Judah, “They will be rebuilt,”
and I will restore her ruins;
27 who says to the depths of the sea, “Be dry,”
and I will dry up your rivers;
28 who says to Cyrus,(E) “My shepherd,
he will fulfill all My pleasure”(F)
and says to Jerusalem, “She will be rebuilt,”(G)
and of the temple, “Its foundation will be laid.”

Isaiah 44:24-28
Common English Bible
24 The Lord your redeemer
who formed you in the womb says:
I am the Lord, the maker of all,
who alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,
25 who frustrates the omens of diviners
and makes a mockery of magicians,
who turns back the wise
and turns their knowledge into folly.
26 But who confirms the word of my[a] servant,
and fulfills the predictions of my messengers;
who says about Jerusalem, “It will be resettled”;
and who says about the cities of Judah, “They will be rebuilt,
and I will restore their ruins”;
27 who says to the ocean depths,
“Dry up; I will dry your streams”;
28 who says about Cyrus, “My shepherd—
he will do all that I want”;
who says about Jerusalem,
“She will be rebuilt”;
and who says about the temple,
“You will be founded once again.”

Jerusalem to Be Inhabited
I am the Lord,

and turns it into nonsense,(I)

and fulfills(K) the predictions of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem,(L) ‘It shall be inhabited,’

and of their ruins,(M) ‘I will restore them,’(N)
27 who says to the watery deep, ‘Be dry,
and I will dry up(O) your streams,’
28 who says of Cyrus,(P) ‘He is my shepherd
and will accomplish all that I please;
he will say of Jerusalem,(Q) “Let it be rebuilt,”
and of the temple,(R) “Let its foundations(S) be laid.”’
