Isaiah 44:9-11

English Standard Version

The Folly of Idolatry

⁹^(A)All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame. ¹⁰^(B)Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? ¹¹^(C)Behold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together.

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.
