Isaiah 44:28

It is I who says of ^aCyrus, ‘He is My shepherd!

And all My good pleasure he will complete.’

And saying of Jerusalem, ‘^bShe will be built,’

And of the temple, ‘¹Your foundation will be laid.’”

Isaiah 46:1-4

^aBel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;

Their images are on the beasts and the cattle.

The things ¹that you carry are burdensome,

A load for the weary beast.

They stooped over, they have bowed down together;

They could not rescue the load,

But ¹have themselves ^agone into captivity.

“^aHear Me, O house of Jacob,

And all ^bthe remnant of the house of Israel,

You who have been ^cburdening Me from ¹birth

And have been carried from the womb;

Even to your old age ¹^aI will be the same,

And even to your ²^bgraying years I will bear you!

I have ³done it, and I will carry you;

And I will bear you, and I will rescue you.
