22. I have swept your sins away like a cloud.Come back to me; I am the one who saves you.”
23. Shout for joy, you heavens!Shout, deep places of the earth!Shout for joy, mountains, and every tree of the forest!The Lord has shown his greatnessby saving his people Israel.
24. “I am the Lord, your saviour;I am the one who created you.I am the Lord, the Creator of all things.I alone stretched out the heavens;when I made the earth, no one helped me.
25. I make fools of fortune tellersand frustrate the predictions of astrologers.The words of the wise I refuteand show that their wisdom is foolishness.
