13. And from the beginning I am the same, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall turn it away?
14. Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.
15. I am the Lord your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16. Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
17. Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong: they lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax, and are extinct.
18. Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
19. Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20. The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to 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, neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
23. Thou hast not offered me the ram of thy holocaust, nor hast thou glorified me with thy victims: I have not caused thee to serve with oblations, nor wearied thee with incense.
