The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 43: 18-19, 21-22, 24-25

43:18 You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity.
43:19 Wele, I am accomplishing new things. And presently, they will spring forth. With certainty, you will know them. I will make a way in the desert, and rivers in an impassible place.
43:21 This is the people whom I have formed for myself. They will speak my praise.
43:22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob, nor have you struggled for me, O Israel.
43:24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, and you have not inebriated me with the fat of your victims. Ond yn wir, you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.
43:25 I am. I am the very One who wipes away your iniquities for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins.
