Isaiah 43:18-25

43:18 Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. 

43:19 I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 

43:20 The wild animals will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people,

43:21 the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise. 

43:22 Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel! 

43:23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, or wearied you with frankincense. 

43:24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money, or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities. 

43:25 I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
