_Cyrus, the Anointed of Jehovah, and Deliverer of Israel._
24. Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from
the womb, I Jehovah am He that accomplisheth all; who stretched out
the heavens alone, spread out the earth by Himself; 25. who bringeth
to nought the signs of the prophets of lies, and exposeth the
soothsayers as raging mad; who turneth back the wise men, and maketh
their science folly; 26. who realiseth the word of His servant, and
accomplisheth the prediction of His messengers; who saith to
Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited, and their ruins I raise up again!
27. who saith to the whirlpool, Dry up; and I dry its streams;
28. who saith to Koresh, My shepherd, and he will perform all my
will; and will say to Jerusalem, She shall be built, and the temple
founded!
