Isaiah 44:24-28
American Standard Version
24 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth [a](who is with me?); 25 that frustrateth the signs of the [b]liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26 that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof; 27 that saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers; 28 That saith of [c]Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem, She shall be built; [d]and of the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

Jerusalem Restored through Cyrus
24 Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer,
and he who formed you in[a] the womb:
“I am Yahweh, who made everything,
who stretched out the heavens alone,
who spread out the earth—who was with me?—
25 who frustrates[b] the signs of oracle priests
and makes a fool of diviners,
who drives the wise men back
and makes their knowledge foolish,
26 who keeps[c] 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[d];
and saying of Jerusalem, ‘It shall be rebuilt,’
and the temple, ‘It shall be founded.’”
