Making fools out of diviners,
Causing wise men to draw back
And turning their knowledge into foolishness,

And performing the purpose of His messengers.
It is I who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’
And of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built.’
And I will raise up her ruins again.

And I will make your rivers dry.
