24  Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,

who formed you from the womb:

“I am the Lord, who made all things,

who alone ⁿstretched out the heavens,

who spread out the earth by myself,

28  who says of ^pCyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,

and he shall fulfill all my purpose’;

saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’

and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’”
