Isaiah 43:18-28

18“1Do not callH2142 toH2142 mindH2142 the formerH7223 thingsH7223, Or considerH995 thingsH6931 of the pastH6931.19BeholdH2009, I am going to doH6213 somethingH2319 2newH2319, NowH6258 it will springH6779 upH6779; Will you not beH3045 awareH3045 of it? I will evenH637 3makeH7760 a roadwayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, RiversH5104 in the desertH3452.20The animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will glorifyH3513 Me, The 4jackalsH8565 and the ostrichesH3284, BecauseH3588 I have 5givenH5414 watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057 And riversH5104 in the desertH3452, To giveH8248 drinkH8248 to My chosenH972 peopleH5971.21The peopleH5971 whomH2098 6I formedH3335 for Myself 7Will declareH5608 My praiseH8416.

22“Yet you have not calledH7121 on Me, JacobH3290; But you have becomeH3021 8wearyH3021 of Me, IsraelH3478.23You have 9not broughtH935 to Me the sheepH7716 of your burntH5930 offeringsH5930, NorH3808 have you 10honoredH3513 Me with your sacrificesH2077. I have not 11burdenedH5647 you with 12offeringsH4503, NorH3808 weariedH3021 you with 13incenseH3828.24You have not boughtH7069 Me 1415sweetH7070 caneH7070 with moneyH3701, NorH3808 have you satisfiedH7301 Me with the fatH2459 of your sacrificesH2077; RatherH389, you have burdenedH5647 Me with your sinsH2403, You have 16weariedH3021 Me with your wrongdoingsH5771.

25“I, I alone, am the one who 17wipesH4229 outH4229 your wrongdoingsH6588 18for My own sakeH4616, And I will 19not rememberH2142 your sinsH2403.2620MeetH2142 Me inH2142 courtH2142, 21let’s argueH8199 our caseH8199 togetherH3162; StateH5608 your cause, 22soH4616 thatH4616 you may be provedH6663 rightH6663.27Your 23firstH7223 24forefatherH1 sinnedH2398, And your 2526spokesmenH3917 have rebelledH6586 against Me.28So I will profaneH2490 the 27officialsH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, And I will turnH5414 JacobH3290 overH5414 to 28destructionH2764 and IsraelH3478 to 29abuseH1421.
