²⁴ The Lord saved you.
    He formed you while you were still in your mother’s body.
The Lord says, “I, the Lord, made everything!
    I alone stretched out the skies.
    I spread out the earth by myself.
²⁵ I show that the lying prophets’ signs are false.
    I make fools of those who do magic.
I confuse even wise men.
    They think they know much, but I make them look foolish.
²⁶ I make the messages of my servants come true.
    I make the advice of my messengers come true.
I say to Jerusalem,
    ‘People will live in you again!’
I say to the towns of Judah,
    ‘You will be built again!’
I say to Jerusalem’s ruins,
    ‘I will repair you.’
