44:9 All who form idols are nothing;
the things in which they delight are worthless.
Their witnesses cannot see;
they recognize nothing, so they are put to shame.
48:17 This is what the Lord, your protector, 1 says,
the Holy One of Israel: 2
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you how to succeed,
who leads you in the way you should go.
