Isaiah 44:21-23
English Standard Version
The Lord Redeems Israel
21 Remember 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.
