Isaiah 43:19–28
19Behold, 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.↗
20The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,↗
21the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.↗
22Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.↗
23You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings, neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.↗
24You 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.↗
25I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.↗
26Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Declare your case, that you may be justified.↗
27Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.↗
28Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”↗
