Isaiah 44:22 in context

Isaiah 44:19–25

19

No one thinks,

neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say,

“I have burned part of it in the fire.

Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals.

I have roasted meat and eaten it.

Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination?

Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”

20

He feeds on ashes.

A deceived heart has turned him aside;

and he can’t deliver his soul,

nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”

21

Remember these things, Jacob and Israel,

for you are my servant.

I have formed you.

You are my servant.

Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

22
Selected verse

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions,

and, as a cloud, your sins.

Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

23

Sing, you heavens, for the LORD has done it!

Shout, you lower parts of the earth!

Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees,

for the LORD has redeemed Jacob,

and will glorify himself in Israel.

24

The LORD, your Redeemer,

and he who formed you from the womb says:

“I am the LORD, who makes all things;

who alone stretches out the heavens;

who spreads out the earth by myself;

25

who frustrates the signs of the liars,

and makes diviners mad;

who turns wise men backward,

and makes their knowledge foolish;
