Isaiah 44:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ He ·doesn’t know what he is doing [^Lfeeds on ashes; or eats on a pile of ashes];
    his ·confused mind [deluded/deceived heart] leads him ·the wrong way [astray].
He cannot ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] himself
    or say, “·This statue I am holding is a false god [^LIs there not a lie in my right hand?].”

²¹ “·People of Jacob [^LJacob], remember these things!
    ·People of Israel [^LIsrael], remember you are my servants.
I ·made [shaped; formed] you, and you are my servants.
    So Israel, I will not forget you.
²² I have ·swept away [removed; or blotted out] your ·sins [offenses; transgressions] like a big cloud;
    I have removed your sins like a ·cloud that disappears into the air [mist].
Come back to me because I ·saved [redeemed] you.”
