    who formed you in the womb:
I am the Lord, who made all things,
    who alone stretched out the heavens,

who turns back the wise
    and makes their knowledge foolish;(B)

    and fulfills the prediction of his messengers;
who says of Jerusalem, “It shall be inhabited,”
    and of the cities of Judah, “They shall be rebuilt,
    and I will raise up their ruins”;(C)
