14 Thus says the Lord,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
(A)“For your sake I send to Babylon
    and (B)bring them all down as fugitives,
    (C)even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
    the Creator of Israel, your King.”

16 Thus says the Lord,
    (D)who makes a way in the sea,
    a path in the mighty waters,
17 who (E)brings forth chariot and horse,
    army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
    (F)they are extinguished, (G)quenched like a wick:
18 (H)“Remember not the former things,
    nor consider the things of old.
19 (I)Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
(J)I will make a way in the wilderness
    (K)and rivers in the desert.
20 The wild beasts will honor me,
    (L)the jackals and the ostriches,
(M)for I give water in the wilderness,
    rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
21     the people whom I formed for myself
(N)that they might declare my praise.

22 “Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
    but (O)you have been weary of me, O Israel!
23 (P)You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
    or honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
    (Q)or wearied you with frankincense.
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.

25 “I, I am he
    (R)who blots out (S)your transgressions for my own sake,
    and I will not remember your sins.
26 Put me in remembrance; (T)let us argue together;
    set forth your case, that you may be proved right.
27 (U)Your first father sinned,
    and (V)your mediators transgressed against me.
28 Therefore (W)I will profane the princes of the sanctuary,
    and (X)deliver Jacob to utter destruction
    and Israel to reviling.

Israel the Lord's Chosen

44 “But now hear, (Y)O Jacob my servant,
    Israel whom I have chosen!
Thus says the Lord who made you,
    (Z)who formed you from the womb and will help you:
(AA)Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
    (AB)Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
(AC)For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
    and my blessing on your descendants.
They shall spring up among the grass
    (AD)like willows by flowing streams.
(AE)This one will say, ‘I am the Lord's,’
    another will call on the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord's,’
    and name himself by the name of Israel.”
