Isaiah 44:26-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁶ who keeps^[a] the word of his servant
    and carries out the plan of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘It shall be inhabited,’
    and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,
    and I will restore its ruins’;
²⁷ who says to the deep, ‘Dry up!
    And I will cause your rivers to dry up’;
²⁸ who says of Cyrus, ‘My shepherd,’
    and he shall carry out all my wishes^[b];
and saying of Jerusalem, ‘It shall be rebuilt,’
    and the temple, ‘It shall be founded.’”
