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.’
²⁷ I tell the deep waters, ‘Become dry!
    I will make your streams become dry!’
