12. I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed; and there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and I am God.
13. Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?
14. Thus saith Jehovah, 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.
15. I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16. Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17. who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick):
18. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20. 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,
21. the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
22. Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23. Thou hast not brought me of thy sheep for burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
