Isaiah 44:25-27

The Voice

²⁵     I confound the lying swindlers who claim to tell the future,
        and I make the fortune-tellers look like fools.
    I stop the highbrow intellectuals in their tracks,
        and I show the fault of their reasoning.
²⁶     But I stand behind the words of My servants,
        and I accomplish what they predict.
    The one who says about Jerusalem, “This place will be built up again”;
        about Judah’s cities, “They will be restored”:
    I confirm their predictions. They will rise from their ruins.
²⁷     After all, I am the One who needs only to say “Dry up” to great waters,
        and your rivers run dry.
