* Thus says LORD , your Redeemer , the Holy One of Israel : For your sake I have sent to Babylon , and I will bring down all of them as fugitives , even the Chaldeans , in the ships of their rejoicing . * I am LORD , your Holy One , the Creator of Israel , your King . * Thus says LORD , who makes a way in the sea , and a path in the mighty waters , * who brings forth the chariot and horse , the army and the mighty man (they lay down together ; they shall not rise ; they are extinct ; they are quenched as a wick ): * Do not remember ye the former things , nor consider the things of old . * Behold , I will do a new thing . Now it shall spring forth . Shall ye not know it ? I will even make a way in the wilderness , and rivers in the desert . * The beasts of the field shall honor me , the jackals and the ostriches , because I give waters in the wilderness , and rivers in the desert , to give drink to my people , my chosen , * the people whom I formed for myself , that they might set forth my praise . * Yet thou have not called upon me , O Jacob , but thou have been weary of me , O Israel . * Thou have not brought me from thy sheep for burnt-offerings , nor have thou honored me with thy sacrifices . I have not burdened thee with offerings , nor wearied thee with frankincense . * Thou have bought me no sweet cane with money , nor have thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices . But thou have burdened me with thy sins . Thou have wearied me with thine iniquities . * I , even I , am he who blots out thy transgressions for my own sake , and I will not remember thy sins . * Put me in remembrance . Let us plead together . Set thou forth [thy case ] that thou may be justified . * Thy first father sinned , and thy teachers have transgressed against me . * Therefore I will profane the rulers of the sanctuary , and I will make Jacob a curse , and Israel a reviling .
