Isaiah 44:21-28

21“1Remember these things, Jacob, And Israel, for you are 2My servant; I have formed you, you are My servant, Israel, you will 3not be forgotten by Me.22I have 4wiped out your wrongdoings like a thick cloud And your sins like a 5heavy mist. 6Return to Me, for I have 7redeemed you.”238Shout for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has done it! Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth; 9Break into a shout of jubilation, you mountains, Forest, and every tree in it; For 10the Lord has redeemed Jacob, And in Israel He 11shows His glory.

24This is what the Lord says, He who is your 12Redeemer, and the One who 13formed you from the womb: “I, the Lord, am the Maker of all things, 14Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth 15alone,2516Causing the 17omens of diviners to fail, 18Making fools of fortune-tellers; 19Causing wise men to turn back And 20making their knowledge ridiculous,2621Confirming the word of His servant And 22carrying out the purpose of His messengers. It is I who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’ And of the 23cities of Judah, ‘24They shall be built.’ And I will raise her ruins again.27I am the One who says to the depth of the sea, ‘Dry up!’ And I will make your rivers 25dry up.28It is I who says of 26Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd, And he will carry out all My desire.’ And 27he says of Jerusalem, ‘28She will be built,’ And of the temple, ‘29Your foundation will be laid.’”
