Isaiah 44:24 CPDV

²²  I have wiped away your iniquities like a cloud, and your sins like a mist. Return to me, because I have redeemed you.

²³  Give praise, O heavens! For the Lord has shown mercy. Shout with joy, O ends of the earth! Let the mountains resound with praise, with the forest and all its trees. For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and Israel will be glorified.

²⁴  Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and your Maker from the womb: I am the Lord, who makes all things, who alone extends the heavens, who makes the earth firm. And there is no one with me.

²⁵  I make the signs of the diviners useless, and I turn the seers to madness. I turn the wise backwards, and make their knowledge into foolishness.

²⁶  I lift up the word of my servant, and I fulfill the counsel of my messengers. I say to Jerusalem, 'You shall be inhabited,' and to the cities of Judah, 'You shall be rebuilt,' and I will lift up its deserts.
