Isaiah 44:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰ The poor, deluded fool feeds on ashes; he is trusting what can never give him any help at all. Yet he cannot bring himself to ask, “Is this thing, this idol that I’m holding in my hand, a lie?”

²¹ Pay attention, Israel, for you are my servant; I made you, and I will not forget to help you. ²² I’ve blotted out your sins; they are gone like morning mist at noon! Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.
