Isaiah 43:18-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Do not remember the former things
or consider the things of old.(A)
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.(B)
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,(C)
21 the people whom I formed for myself
so that they might declare my praise.(D)
22 Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, O Israel!(E)
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.(F)
24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money
or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
Rather, you have burdened me with your sins;
you have wearied me with your iniquities.(G)
25 I alone am the one
who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins.(H)
Isaiah 43:18-25

18 “Forget the former things;(A)
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!(B)
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness(C)
and streams in the wasteland.(D)
20 The wild animals(E) honor me,
the jackals(F) and the owls,
because I provide water(G) in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 the people I formed(H) for myself(I)
that they may proclaim my praise.(J)
22 “Yet you have not called on me, Jacob,
you have not wearied(K) yourselves for[a] me, Israel.(L)
23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings,(M)
nor honored(N) me with your sacrifices.(O)
I have not burdened(P) you with grain offerings
nor wearied you with demands(Q) for incense.(R)
24 You have not bought any fragrant calamus(S) for me,
or lavished on me the fat(T) of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins
and wearied(U) me with your offenses.(V)

King James Version
Isaiah 43:18-25
King James Version
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
