21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
and Israel, for you are my servant;
I formed you, you are my servant;
O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud,
and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;
shout, O depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
and will be glorified in Israel.
24 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
who formed you in the womb:
I am the Lord, who made all things,
who alone stretched out the heavens,
who by myself spread out the earth;
25 who frustrates the omens of liars,
and makes fools of diviners;
who turns back the wise,
and makes their knowledge foolish;
26 who confirms the word of his servant,
and fulfils the prediction of his messengers;
who says of Jerusalem, It shall be inhabited,
and of the cities of Judah, They shall be rebuilt,
and I will raise up their ruins;
27 who says to the deep, Be dry
I will dry up your rivers;
28 who says of Cyrus, He is my shepherd,
and he shall carry out all my purpose;
and who says of Jerusalem, It shall be rebuilt,
and of the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.
