24  Thus says the Lord, ^eyour Redeemer,

^fwho formed you from the womb:

^g“I am the Lord, who made all things,

^hwho alone stretched out the heavens,

who spread out the earth by myself,

25  who frustrates the signs of liars

and makes fools of diviners,

ⁱwho turns wise men back

and makes their knowledge foolish,

26  ^jwho confirms the word of his servant

and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,

who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’

^kand of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,

and I will raise up their ruins’;

27  ^lwho says to the deep, ‘Be dry;

I will dry up your rivers’;

2  Thus says the Lord who made you,

^cwho formed you from the womb and will help you:

^dFear not, O Jacob my servant,

^eJeshurun whom I have chosen.
