Isaiah 44:24-28
Legacy Standard Bible
24 Thus says Yahweh, your (A)Redeemer, and the one who (B)formed you from the womb,
“I, Yahweh, am the maker of all things,
(C)Stretching out the heavens by Myself
And spreading out the earth [a]all alone,
25 (D)Causing the [b]omens of boasters to be annulled,
And [c]making fools out of diviners,
(E)Causing wise men to turn back,
And [d]making foolishness out of their knowledge,
26 (F)Confirming the word of His servant—
And the counsel of His messengers He will complete—
And being the One who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’
And of the (G)cities of Judah, ‘(H)They shall be built.’
And I will raise up her waste places again.
27 It is I who says to the depth of the sea, ‘Be dried up!’
And I will make your rivers (I)dry.
28 It is I who says of (J)Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd!
And all My good pleasure he will complete.’
And saying of Jerusalem, ‘(K)She will be built,’
And of the temple, ‘[e]Your foundation will be laid.’”

New International Version
Jerusalem to Be Inhabited
I am the Lord,
the Maker of all things,
who stretches out the heavens,(D)
who spreads out the earth(E) by myself,
25 who foils(F) the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners,(G)
who overthrows the learning of the wise(H)
and turns it into nonsense,(I)
26 who carries out the words(J) of his servants
and fulfills(K) the predictions of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem,(L) ‘It shall be inhabited,’
of the towns of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,’
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.”’
