Isaiah 43:18-28

18RememberH2142 ye not the former thingsH7223, neither considerH995 the things of oldH6931. 19Behold, I will doH6213 a new thingH2319; now it shall spring forthH6779; shall ye not knowH3045 it? I will even makeH7760 a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452. 20The beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall honourH3513 me, the dragonsH8577 and the owlsH1323H3284: because I giveH5414 watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452, to give drinkH8248 to my peopleH5971, my chosenH972.1 21ThisH2098 peopleH5971 have I formedH3335 for myself; they shall show forthH5608 my praiseH8416.

22But thou hast not calledH7121 upon me, O JacobH3290; but thou hast been wearyH3021 of me, O IsraelH3478. 23Thou hast not broughtH935 me the small cattleH7716 of thy burnt offeringsH5930; neither hast thou honouredH3513 me with thy sacrificesH2077. I have not caused thee to serveH5647 with an offeringH4503, nor weariedH3021 thee with incenseH3828.2 24Thou hast boughtH7069 me no sweet caneH7070 with moneyH3701, neither hast thou filledH7301 me with the fatH2459 of thy sacrificesH2077: but thou hast burdened meH5647 with thy sinsH2403, thou hast weariedH3021 me with thy iniquitiesH5771.3 25I, even I, am he that blotteth outH4229 thy transgressionsH6588 for my own sake, and will not rememberH2142 thy sinsH2403. 26Put me in remembranceH2142: let us pleadH8199 togetherH3162: declareH5608 thou, that thou mayest be justifiedH6663. 27Thy firstH7223 fatherH1 hath sinnedH2398, and thy teachersH3887 have transgressedH6586 against me.4 28Therefore I have profanedH2490 the princesH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and have givenH5414 JacobH3290 to the curseH2764, and IsraelH3478 to reproachesH1421.5
