²⁴ Thus says the Lord, ^(A)your Redeemer,
And ^(B)He who formed you from the womb:
“I am the Lord, who makes all things,
^(C)Who stretches out the heavens ^[a]all alone,
Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

²⁸ Who says of ^(A)Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd,
And he shall perform all My pleasure,
Saying to Jerusalem, ^(B)“You shall be built,”
And to the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.” ’
