16 Thus saith the Lord, that giveth a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water,
17 He that bringeth forth chariots, and horse, and a mighty throng; but they have lain down, and shall not arise, they are quenched as flax that is quenched:
18 Remember ye <not> the first things, and consider not things of old.
19 Behold, I do new things which shall now arise, and ye shall learn them: and I will make a path in the desert, and rivers in the waterless land:
20 The beasts of the field shall praise me, owls, and the daughters of ostriches; because I have given water in the desert, and rivers in the waterless land, I will give my chosen race to drink,
21 My people, whom I have preserved to set forth my excellences.
22 Not now have I called thee, Jacob, nor made thee weary, Israel:
23 No sheep have I of thy offering, nor didst thou glorify me in thy sacrifices, nor serve in thy sacrifices; nor have I wearied thee with frankincense,
24 Neither didst thou buy for me incense for silver, nor did I desire the fat of thy offerings; but in thy sins and in thine unrighteousness I stood before thee.
25 I am, I am he that blotteth out thy transgressions and will not remember thine unrighteousnesses.
26 But do thou remember, and let us be judged; tell thou first thy transgressions, that thou mayest be justified.
27 Our fathers first, and their rulers transgressed against me?
28 And the rulers defiled my holy things; and I gave Jacob over to destroy (him) and Israel for a reproach.
XLIV. 1 But now hear, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I chose (out).
2 Thus said the Lord God who made thee, and he that formed thee from the womb, Thou shalt yet be helped: fear not, my servant Jacob, and my beloved Israel whom I chose (out);
3 For I will give water in thirst to them that walk in a waterless place; I will put my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon thy children,
4 And they shall rise up as grass among water, and as a willow by the side of a flowing water.
5 This one shall say, I am God's, and this shall speak in the name of Jacob; and another writeth, I am God's; upon the name of Israel.
6 Thus saith God, the King of Israel, and his deliverer, God of Hosts; I am first, and I am hereafter; except me there is no God.
7 Who is as I am? let him stand, let him call, and make ready for me, since I made man for everlasting; and let them declare to you the coming things before they come.
