The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 43:13-23

  1. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

  2. Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

  3. I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

  4. Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

  5. Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

  6. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

  10. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

  11. 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.
