Isaiah 44:21-26

English Standard Version

The Lord Redeems Israel

²¹Remember these things, O Jacob,
    and Israel, for you are ^(A)my servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
    ^(B)O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
²²^(C)I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.

²³^(D)Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;
    shout, O ^(E)depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
    O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
    ^(F)and will be glorified^[a] in Israel.

²⁴Thus says the Lord, ^(G)your Redeemer,
    ^(H)who formed you from the womb:
^(I)“I am the Lord, who made all things,
    ^(J)who alone stretched out the heavens,
    who spread out the earth by myself,
²⁵who frustrates the signs of liars
    and makes fools of diviners,
^(K)who turns wise men back
    and makes their knowledge foolish,
²⁶^(L)who confirms the word of his servant
    and fulfills the counsel of his messengers,
who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited,’
    ^(M)and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,
    and I will raise up their ruins’;
