25 “I have brought someone to come out of the north.[a]
    I have called by name a man from the east, and he knows me.
He walks on kings as if they were mud.
    He walks on them as a potter walks on the clay.
26 Who told us about this before it happened?
    Who told us ahead of time so we could say, ‘He was right’?

27 I, the Lord, was the first one to tell Jerusalem that the people were coming home.
    I sent a messenger to Jerusalem with the good news.
