Isaiah 43:19-25

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ “Behold, I will do something ^(A)new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even ^(B)make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.
²⁰ “The beasts of the field will glorify Me,
The ^(C)jackals and the ostriches,
Because I have ^(D)given waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My chosen people.
²¹ “The people whom ^(E)I formed for Myself
^(F)Will declare My praise.

²² “Yet you have not called on Me, O Jacob;
But you have become ^(G)weary of Me, O Israel.
²³ “You have ^(H)not brought to Me the sheep of your burnt offerings,
Nor have you ^(I)honored Me with your sacrifices.
I have not ^(J)burdened you with ^[a]offerings,
Nor wearied you with ^(K)incense.
²⁴ “You have bought Me not ^[b](L)sweet cane with money,
Nor have you ^[c]filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices;
Rather you have burdened Me with your sins,
You have ^(M)wearied Me with your iniquities.
