21 Remember these things, O Jacob; and Israel, for thou art my servant; I have formed thee, thou art my servant: Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

22 I have blotted out, as a mist, thy rebellions, and as a cloud thy sins; return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

23 Sing, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath done it; shout, ye lowest parts of the earth; break forth, ye mountains, into singing; the forest, and every tree therein; for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and will beautify himself in Israel.

24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth forth the earth: who was with me?

25 That shattereth the signs of the praters, and diviners he will madden; that tumeth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish:

26 That setteth up the word of his servant, and fulfilleth the counsel of his messengers: that saith to Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited, and to the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will set up the wastes thereof:

27 That saith to the deep, Be wasted, I will dry up thy rivers:

28 That saith to Cyrus, My shepherd, and all my pleasure shall he fulfil; 3 and saying to Jerusalem, She shall be built, and a temple shall be founded.
