22 I have (A)wiped out your wrongdoings like a thick cloud
And your sins like a [a]heavy mist.
(B)Return to Me, for I have (C)redeemed you.”
23 (D)Shout for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth;
(E)Break into a shout of jubilation, you mountains,
Forest, and every tree in it;
For (F)the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And in Israel He (G)shows His glory.
