Isaiah 44:21-28

The Lord Redeems Israel

21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
and Israel, for you are amy servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
bO Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 cI have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 dSing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;
shout, O edepths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
fand will be glorified
Or  will display his beauty
in Israel.
24 Thus says the Lord, hyour Redeemer,
iwho formed you from the womb:
jI am the Lord, who made all things,
kwho alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,
25who frustrates the signs of liars
and makes fools of diviners,
lwho turns wise men back
and makes their knowledge foolish,
26 mwho confirms the word of his servant
and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’
nand of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,
and I will raise up their ruins’;
27 owho says to the deep, ‘Be dry;
I will dry up your rivers’;
28who says of pCyrus, ‘He is qmy shepherd,
and he shall fulfill all my purpose’;
saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’
rand of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’”
