Isaiah 44:21-28
21“1RememberH2142 theseH428 thingsH428, O JacobH3290, And IsraelH3478, for you are 2My servantH5650; I have formedH3335 you, you are My servantH5650, O IsraelH3478, you will 3not be forgottenH5382 by Me.22I have 4wipedH4229 out your transgressionsH6588 like a thickH5645 cloudH5645 And your sinsH2403 like a 5heavyH6051 mistH6051. 6ReturnH7725 to Me, for I have 7redeemedH1350 you.”238ShoutH7442 for joyH7442, O heavensH8064, for the LordH3068 has doneH6213 it! ShoutH7321 joyfullyH7321, you lowerH8482 partsH8482 of the earthH776; 9BreakH6476 forthH6476 into a shoutH7440 of joyH7440, you mountainsH2022, O forestH3293, and everyH3605 treeH6086 in it; For 10the LordH3068 has redeemedH1350 JacobH3290 And in IsraelH3478 He 11showsH6286 forth His gloryH6286.
24ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, your 12RedeemerH1350, and the one who 13formedH3335 you from the wombH990, “I, the LordH3068, am the makerH6213 of allH3605 thingsH3605, 14StretchingH5186 out the heavensH8064 by MyselfH905 And spreadingH7554 out the earthH776 15allH4480H854 aloneH4480H854,2516Causing the 17omensH226 of boastersH907 to failH6565, 18MakingH1984 foolsH1984 out of divinersH7080, 19Causing wiseH2450 menH2450 to drawH7725 backH268 And 20turningH7725 their knowledgeH1847 into foolishnessH5528,2621ConfirmingH6965 the wordH1697 of His servantH5650 And 22performingH7999 the purposeH6098 of His messengersH4397. It is I who saysH559 of JerusalemH3389, ‘She shall be inhabitedH3427!’ And of the 23citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, ‘24They shall be builtH1129.’ And I will raiseH6965 up her ruinsH2723 again.27It is I who saysH559 to the depthH6683 of the seaH6683, ‘Be driedH2717 up!’ And I will makeH3001 your riversH5104 25dryH3001.28It is I who saysH559 of 26CyrusH3566, ‘He is My shepherdH7462! And he will performH7999 allH3605 My desireH2656.’ And 27he declaresH559 of JerusalemH3389, ‘28She will be builtH1129,’ And of the templeH1964, ‘29Your foundationH3245 will be laidH3245.’”
