20 He feeds on ashes; his deceived mind misleads him. He cannot rescue himself, nor does he say, ‘Is this not a false god I hold in my right hand?’ 21 Remember these things, O Jacob, O Israel, for you are my servant. I formed you to be my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you! 22 I remove the guilt of your rebellious deeds as if they were a cloud, the guilt of your sins as if they were a cloud. Come back to me, for I protect you.” 23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; shout out, you subterranean regions of the earth. O mountains, give a joyful shout; you too, O forest and all your trees! For the Lord protects Jacob; he reveals his splendor through Israel.

20 Know that their heart is ashes, and they are going astray, and no one is able to deliver his soul. See, will you not say, “There is a lie in my right hand”? 21 Remember these things, O Iakob and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you as my servant, and you, Israel, do not forget me. 22 For see, I have blotted out your acts of lawlessness like a cloud and your sins like darkness; return to me, and I will redeem you. 23 Rejoice, O heavens, because God has had mercy on Israel; trumpet, O foundations of the earth; shout for joy, O mountains, the hills and all the trees that are in them, because God has redeemed Iakob, and Israel will be glorified!
