Isaiah 44:18-28

18 They have not known nor understood; for He hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see, and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, "I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it. And shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?"
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul nor say, "Is there not a lie in my right hand?"
21 "Remember these, O Jacob and Israel, for thou art My servant. I have formed thee; thou art My servant. O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten by Me.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, 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 lower parts of the earth! Break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest and every tree therein; for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified 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 abroad the earth by Myself;
25 that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad, that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
26 that confirmeth the word of His servant, and performeth the counsel of His messengers, that saith to Jerusalem, `Thou shalt be inhabited,' and to the cities of Judah, `Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof';
27 that saith to the deep, `Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers';
28 that saith of Cyrus, `He is My shepherd and shall perform all My pleasure,' even saying to Jerusalem, `Thou shalt be built,' and to the temple, `Thy foundation shall be laid.'
