Isaias

14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and will bring down all of them as fugitives, and the Chaldaeans in the ships of their shouting

15 I the Lord am your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

16 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters:

17 Which bringeth forth chariot and horse, force and warrior: they lie down together, they shall not rise: they are quenched, they are gone out like a wick:

18 Remember ye not the first things, neither consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I do a new thing; now is it springing forth; will ye not know it? Yea, I will set a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

20 The beast of the field shall honour. me, jackals and (daughters of) ostriches : for I have given ’waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

21 The people which 1,Ι have formed for myself, they shall recount my praise.

22 And thou hast noi: called upon me, Jacob : for thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

23 Thou hast not brought me the’lambs of thy burnt offerings, neither hast thou honoured me with tb’y sacrifices: I have not caused thee to serve with a (meal) offering,nor wearied thee with . incense.

24 Thou hast not bought me sweet cane with silver, neither hast thou steeped me with the fat of thy sacrifices: only thou hast caused me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with a thine iniquities.
