²⁷ I say to the deep sea, “Become dry!”
    and its streams become dry.
²⁸ I say about King Cyrus,
    “He is my shepherd.^[a]
    He will do what I want him to do.”
He will give a command about Jerusalem.
    He will say, “Build the city again!”
He will say about the temple,
    “Build its foundation.” ’
