44:22 I remove the guilt of your rebellious deeds as if they were a cloud,
the guilt of your sins as if they were a cloud. 1
Come back to me, for I protect 2 you.”
44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 3
shout out, you subterranean regions 4 of the earth.
O mountains, give a joyful shout;
you too, O forest and all your trees! 5
For the Lord protects 6 Jacob;
he reveals his splendor through Israel. 7
