…”I am the LORD, who made all things.
I alone stretched out the heavens.
Who was with me when I made the earth?
I expose the false prophets as liars
and make fools of fortune-tellers…
But I carry out the predictions of my prophets!…
When I say of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,’
he will certainly do as I say.
He will command, ‘Rebuild Jerusalem’;
he will say, ‘Restore the Temple.’”
I will raise up Cyrus to fulfill my righteous purpose,
and I will guide his actions…
I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!”
