22
“I have (A)wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud
And your sins like a (a)heavy mist.
(B)Return to Me, for I have (C)redeemed you.”
23
(D)Shout for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth;
(E)Break forth into a shout of joy, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it;
For (F)the Lord has redeemed Jacob
And in Israel He (G)shows forth His glory.
24 Thus says the Lord, your (H)Redeemer, and the one who (I)formed you from the womb,
“I, the Lord, am the maker of all things,
(J)Stretching out the heavens by Myself
And spreading out the earth (b)all alone,
