12. I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown;and there was no strange god amongst you.Therefore you are my witnesses”,says the Lord, “and I am God.
13. Yes, since the day was, I am he;and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand.I will work, and who can hinder it?”
14. the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Kasdim, in the ships of their rejoicing.
15. I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16. the Lord, who makes a way in the sea,and a path in the mighty waters says:
17. who brings out the chariot and horse,the army and the mighty man(they lie down together, they shall not rise;they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):
18. “Don’t remember the former things,and don’t consider the things of old.
19. Behold, I will do a new thing.It springs out now.Don’t you know it?I will even make a way in the wilderness,and rivers in the desert.
20. The animals of the field shall honour me,the jackals and the ostriches;because I give water 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 declare my praise.
22. Yet you have not called on me, Jacob;but you have been weary of me, Israel.
23. You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings;neither have you honoured me with your sacrifices.I have not burdened you with offerings,nor wearied you with frankincense.
24. You have bought me no sweet cane with money,nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices;but you have burdened me with your sins.You have wearied me with your iniquities.
25. I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake;and I will not remember your sins.
26. Put me in remembrance.Let us plead together.Declare your case,that you may be justified.
