Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old (43:18) 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 (43:19) The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen (43:20) This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise (43:21) But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel (43:22) Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense (43:23) Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities (43:24) I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins (43:25) Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified (43:26) Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. (43:27) 04 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches
(43:28)
