Context of Isaiah 44:24

22I have removed the guilt of your sins, like the wind blows away a cloud. When you turned against me, I have quickly forgiven you. Return to me now, because I have rescued you.’ 23Sing aloud with joy, you heavens above us, because the Lord has done it! Shout as loudly as you can, places deep below the earth. You mountains, sing with joy, and you forests and trees as well! Be happy, because the Lord has redeemed his people. He has rescued the Israelites, Jacob's descendants, to show how great he is. The Lord is your Redeemer. He took care of you before you were born. He says, ‘I am the Lord. I made everything. I alone hung up the sky like a curtain. I made the whole earth by myself. 25I show that the false prophets speak useless messages. I show that those who use magic to say what will happen are fools. I cause the ideas of wise people to become useless. People think that their advice is foolish. 26But I do the things that my servants say will happen. I show that my prophets' messages are true. I say about Jerusalem, “People will live there again.” I say about the towns in Judah, “I will cause people to build them again, so that they are no longer heaps of stones.”
