15I am the LORD, your Holy One,
Israel's Creator, your King.”

16This is what the LORD says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,

17who drew out the chariots and horses,
the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

18“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.

19See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.

20The wild animals honor me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the desert
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21the people I formed for myself
that they may proclaim my praise.

22“Yet you have not called upon me, O Jacob,
you have not wearied yourselves for me, O Israel.

23You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings,
nor honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with grain offerings
nor wearied you with demands for incense.

24You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me,
or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins
and wearied me with your offenses.

28So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple,
and I will consign Jacob to destructionThe Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the LORD, often by totally destroying them.
and Israel to scorn.
