Isaiah 44:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ I confirm the words of my servants
    and carry out the plans revealed by my messengers.
I say to Jerusalem, You will be inhabited,
    and to the cities of Judah, You will be rebuilt.
    I will raise up their ruins.
²⁷ I say to the deep waters, Become dry;
    I will dry up your rivers.
²⁸ I say to Cyrus, You will be my shepherd,
    and he will carry out my every wish,
so that Jerusalem will be rebuilt
    and the foundations of the temple will be laid.
