Restoration for Jerusalem

21 “Pay attention, O Jacob,
    for you are my servant, O Israel.
I, the Lord, made you,
    and I will not forget you.
22 I have swept away your sins like a cloud.
    I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist.
Oh, return to me,
    for I have paid the price to set you free.”

23 Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done this wondrous thing.
    Shout for joy, O depths of the earth!
Break into song,
    O mountains and forests and every tree!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob
    and is glorified in Israel.

God Forgives and Redeems

21 (A)Remember these things, Jacob,
And Israel, for you are (B)My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant,
Israel, you will (C)not be forgotten by Me.
22 I have (D)wiped out your wrongdoings like a thick cloud
And your sins like a [a]heavy mist.
(E)Return to Me, for I have (F)redeemed you.”
23 (G)Shout for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth;
(H)Break into a shout of jubilation, you mountains,
Forest, and every tree in it;
For (I)the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And in Israel He (J)shows His glory.
