²⁶But he backs the word of his servant and confirms the counsel of his messengers. He says to Jerusalem, "Be inhabited," and to the cities of Judah, "Be rebuilt," and to the ruins, "I raise you up."

²⁷He says to Ocean, "Dry up. I''m drying up your rivers."

²⁸He says to Cyrus, "My shepherd--everything I want, you''ll do it." He says to Jerusalem, "Be built," and to the Temple, "Be established."l
