Isaiah 44:26-28

The Voice

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.
²⁸     I am the one who says of the Persian victor over Babylon,
        “Cyrus is My shepherd. He will accomplish what I determine.”
    My word goes out concerning Jerusalem:
        “It will stand, a glorious city, again”
        and of My house within it, “Restoration will begin at once.”
