24Thus says Yahweh, your aRedeemer, and the one who bformed you from the womb,

“I, Yahweh, am the maker of all things,

cStretching out the heavens by Myself

And spreading out the earth 1all alone,

25aCausing the 1omens of boasters to be annulled,

And 2making fools out of diviners,

bCausing wise men to turn back,

And 3making foolishness out of their knowledge,

26aConfirming the word of His servant—

And the counsel of His messengers He will complete—

And being the One who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’

And of the bcities of Judah, ‘cThey shall be built.’

And I will raise up her waste places again.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,

who formed you from the womb:

“I am the Lord, who made all things,

who alone stretched out the heavens,

who spread out the earth by myself,

who frustrates the signs of liars

and makes fools of diviners,

who turns wise men back

and makes their knowledge foolish,

who confirms the word of his servant

and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,

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

and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,

and I will raise up their ruins’;

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“This is what the Lord says—

your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:

I am the Lord,

the Maker of all things,

who stretches out the heavens,

who spreads out the earth by myself,

who foils the signs of false prophets

and makes fools of diviners,

who overthrows the learning of the wise

and turns it into nonsense,

who carries out the words of his servants

and fulfills the predictions of his messengers,

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

of the towns of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,’

and of their ruins, ‘I will restore them,’

CSBChristian Standard Bible

This is what the Lord, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb, says:

I am the Lord, who made everything;

who stretched out the heavens by myself;

who alone spread out the earth;

who destroys the omens of the false prophets

and makes fools of diviners;

who confounds the wise

and makes their knowledge foolishness;

who confirms the message of his servant

and fulfills the counsel of his messengers;

who says to Jerusalem, “She will be inhabited,”

and to the cities of Judah, “They will be rebuilt,”

and I will restore her ruins;

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says—

your Redeemer and Creator:

“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.

I cause the wise to give bad advice,

thus proving them to be fools.

But I carry out the predictions of my prophets!

By them I say to Jerusalem, ‘People will live here again,’

and to the towns of Judah, ‘You will be rebuilt;

I will restore all your ruins!’

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer,

and he who formed you in the womb:

“I am Yahweh, who made everything,

who stretched out the heavens alone,

who spread out the earth—who was with me?—

who frustrates the signs of oracle priests

and makes a fool of diviners,

who drives the wise men back

and makes their knowledge foolish,

who keeps the word of his servant

and carries out the plan of his messengers,

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

and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,

and I will restore its ruins’;

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer,

And he that formed thee from the womb,

I am the Lord that maketh all things;

That stretcheth forth the heavens alone;

That spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars,

And maketh diviners mad;

That turneth wise men backward,

And maketh their knowledge foolish;

That confirmeth the word of his servant,

And performeth the counsel of his messengers;

That saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited;

And to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built,

And I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
