Isaiah 44

YHWH comforts Israel (Ya'akov and Yeshurun), promising to pour out water, Spirit, and blessings for renewal, proclaims His uniqueness as the First and Last with no other God, and ridicules the futility of idolatry by detailing how craftsmen make useless idols from materials used for fuel and food.[1][2][3] YHWH declares He blots out Israel's transgressions like a cloud, calls heaven and earth to rejoice in Israel's redemption, vows to restore Jerusalem and the temple through Koresh (Cyrus), whom He names as His shepherd and anointed to rebuild.[1][2][4]
