Isaiah 44:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁶ who confirms the word of his servant,
    and fulfills the prediction of his messengers;
who says of Jerusalem, “It shall be inhabited,”
    and of the cities of Judah, “They shall be rebuilt,
    and I will raise up their ruins”;
²⁷ who says to the deep, “Be dry—
    I will dry up your rivers”;
²⁸ who says of Cyrus, “He is my shepherd,
    and he shall carry out all my purpose”;
and who says of Jerusalem, “It shall be rebuilt,”
    and of the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.”
