Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, “I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself; that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; that confirmeth the word of His servant, and performeth the counsel of His messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, ‘Thou shalt be inhabited;’ and to the cities of Judah, ‘Ye shall be built,’ and I will raise up the decayed places thereof: that saith to the deep, ‘Be dry,’ and I will dry up thy rivers:’ that saith of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd, and shall perform all My pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, ‘Thou shalt be built;’ and to the temple, ‘Thy foundation shall be laid.’”
Isaiah 44:24-28
