GOD'S Mercy and Israel's Unfaithfulness

       This is what THE LORD says--
          your Redeemer, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL:
       "For your sake I will send to Babylon
          and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians,
          in the ships in which they took pride.
      I AM THE LORD, your Holy One,
          Israel's Creator, your King."

       This is what THE LORD says--
          HE who made a way through the sea,
          a path through the mighty waters,
       who 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:
       "Forget the former things;
          do not dwell on the past.
       See, 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.
       The 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,
          the people I formed for MYSELF
          that they may proclaim MY praise.

       "Yet you have not called upon ME, O Jacob,
          you have not wearied yourselves for ME, O Israel.
       You 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.
       You 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.

      "I, even I, AM HE who blots out
          your transgressions, for MY own sake,
          and remembers your sins no more.
       Review the past for ME,
          let us argue the matter together;
          state the case for your innocence.
       Your first father sinned;
          your spokesmen rebelled against ME.
       So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple,
          and I will consign Jacob to destruction
          and Israel to scorn.


The Book of Isaiah: chapter 43, verses 14 - 28
