25 I, I am he that blotteth out thy rebellions for mine own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.

26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: do thou recount, that thou mayest appear righteous.

27 Thy ﬁrst father sinned, and thine interpreters rebelled ” against me.

28 And I will profane princes of holiness, and will give up Jacob to the ban, and Israel to reproaches.

22. Some render, ‘much less hast thou wearied’thyself with me.’26. ‘let us plead together,’ or, ‘judge one another’: possibly, ‘ be judged.’28. Or past tenses, altering the points: ‘ princes of holiness’: or, ‘of the sanctuary’ (?) or, ‘consecrated princes.’

XLIV. 1 And now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen;

2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, that will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, and (thou) Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and flowing streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon them that go forth of thee.

4 And they shall spring up in the midst of the grass, as willows by the water courses.
