Isaiah 43:18-28

18“Do notH408 call to mindH2142 the former thingsH7223; pay noH408 attentionH995 to the things of oldH6931.19BeholdH2005, I am about to doH6213 something newH2319; even nowH6258 it is comingH6779. Do you notH3808 see itH3045? IndeedH637, I will makeH7760 a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057 and streamsH5104 in the desertH3452.20The beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 will honor MeH3513, the jackalsH8577 1 andH1323 the ostrichesH3284,2 becauseH3588 I provideH5414 waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057 and riversH5104 in the desertH3452, to give drinkH8248 to My chosenH972 peopleH5971.

21The peopleH5971 H2098 I formedH3335 for Myselfwill declareH5608 My praiseH8416.

22But you have notH3808 calledH7121 on MeH853, O JacobH3290,becauseH3588 you have grown wearyH3021 of Me, O IsraelH3478.23You have notH3808 broughtH935 Me sheepH7716 for burnt offeringsH5930,nor honored MeH3513 H3808 with your sacrificesH2077.I have notH3808 burdened youH5647 with offeringsH4503,norH3808 weariedH3021 you with frankincenseH3828.24You have not boughtH7069 H3808 Me sweet caneH7070 with your silverH3701,norH3808 satisfied MeH7301 with the fatH2459 of your sacrificesH2077.ButH389 you have burdened MeH5647 with your sinsH2403;you have wearied MeH3021 with your iniquitiesH5771.

25IH595, yes IH595, am HeH1931who blots outH4229 your transgressionsH6588 for My own sakeH4616and remembersH2142 your sinsH2403 no moreH3808.26Remind MeH2142, let us argue the matterH8199 togetherH3162.State your caseH5608, so thatH4616 youH859 may be vindicatedH6663.27Your firstH7223 fatherH1 sinnedH2398,and your spokesmenH3887 rebelledH6586 against Me.28So I will disgraceH2490 the princesH8269 of your sanctuaryH6944,and I will devoteH5414 JacobH3290 to destructionH2764 3 and IsraelH3478 to reproachH1421.”
