Isaiah 43:19-25

Isaiah 43:19-25 GNBUK

Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already — you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there. Even the wild animals will honour me; jackals and ostriches will praise me when I make rivers flow in the desert to give water to my chosen people. They are the people I made for myself, and they will sing my praises!” The LORD says, “But you were tired of me, Israel; you did not worship me. You did not bring me your burnt offerings of sheep; you did not honour me with your sacrifices. I did not burden you by demanding offerings or wear you out by asking for incense. You didn't buy incense for me or satisfy me with the fat of your animals. Instead you burdened me with your sins; you wore me out with the wrongs you committed. And yet, I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you.
