11. I, I am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.
12. It is I that have declared, and have saved, and have shewed, when there was no strange god among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, that I am ·God
13. Yea, since the day was, I am HE, and there is none that delivereth out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?
14. Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15. I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16. Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
17. who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power--they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as tow:
18. --Remember not the former things, neither consider the ancient things:
19. behold, I do a new thing; now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the waste.
20. The beast of the field shall glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I will give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the waste, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21. This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.
22. --But thou hast not called upon me, Jacob; for thou hast been weary of me, O Israel:
23. thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings, neither hast thou glorified me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to toil with an oblation, nor wearied thee with incense.
