Isaiah 43 — Context

19

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

20

The beast of the field shall honor 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 have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise. ¶

22

But you have not called on me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.

23

You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.

24

You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made me to serve with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.

25

I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.
