20 He [a](A)feeds on ashes; a (B)deceived heart has turned him aside. And he cannot deliver [b]himself, nor say, “(C)Is there not a lie in my right hand?”

God Forgives and Redeems

21 (D)Remember these things, O Jacob,
And Israel, for you are (E)My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant,
O Israel, you will (F)not be forgotten by Me.
22 “I have (G)wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud
And your sins like a [c]heavy mist.
(H)Return to Me, for I have (I)redeemed you.”
