17. when he brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall fall together, and never rise; they are extinct; they are quenched as wick.
18. Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
19. Behold, I will do a new thing; it shall come to light quickly; shall ye not know it? I will again make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20. 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.
21. This people I have formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
22. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23. Thou hast not brought me the animals 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.
24. 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.
25. I, even I, am he that uproots thy rebellions for mine own sake and will not remember thy sins.
26. Cause me to remember; let us enter into judgment together; declare, thou, that it may be put to thy account.
27. Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary and have set up Jacob as anathema, and Israel as a reproach.
