44:1 “Now, listen, Jacob my servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!”
1:21 How tragic that the once-faithful city
has become a prostitute!

but now only murderers.
5:3 So now, residents of Jerusalem,
people
you decide between me and my vineyard!
64:8 Yet,
We are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the product of your labor.
5:5 Now I will inform you

I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture,
I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there.

who lives securely,
who says to herself,
‘I am unique! No one can compare to me!
I will never have to live as a widow;
I will never lose my children.’

so that Israel might be gathered to him;
and I will be honored
for my God is my source of strength
52:5 And now, what do we have here?”
“Indeed my people have been carried away for nothing,
those who rule over them taunt,”
“and my name is constantly slandered
