16 Thus said Jehovah giving a way in the sea, and a beaten path in the strong waters; 17 Bringing forth the chariot and the horse, the strength and the might together, they shall fall down, they shall not rise: they went out; they were quenched as tow. 18 Will ye not remember the former things? will ye not discern the things of old? 19 Behold me doing a new thing; now it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it? I will also set a way in the desert, rivers in the waste. 20 The beast of the field shall know me, the sea monster and the daughters of the ostrich: for I gave waters in the desert, rivers in the waste to give drink to my people, my chosen. 21 This people I formed for myself; they shall recount my praise. 22 And thou calledst me not, O Jacob; and thou overt weary of me, O Israel. 23 Thou broughtest not to me the sheep of thy burnt-offering, and thou honoredst me not with thy sacrifices I caused thee not to serve with a gift, and I wearied thee not with frankincense. 24 Thou broughtest not for me a buying with silver, thou didst not satiate me with the fat of thy sacrifices also thou causedst me to serve with thy sins, thou didst weary me with thine iniquities. 25 I, I am he wiping away thy transgressions for my sake, and I will not remember thy sins. 26 Cause me to remember; we will judge together; relate thou so that thou shalt be justified. 27 Thy first father sinned, thy interpreter transgressed against me. 28 And will defile the chiefs of the holy place, and will give Jacob to be devoted, and Israel for reproaches.
