I AM THE LORD, YOUR HOLY ONE

I am the LORD, your Holy One, 

the creator of Israel, your King.

Thus saith the LORD, which maketh 

a way in the sea, and a path in the 

mighty waters;  Which bringeth forth the 

chariot and horse, the army and the power; 

they shall lie down together, they shall 

not rise: they are extinct, they are 

quenched as tow. Remember ye not the 

former things, neither consider the things 

of old.  Behold, I will do a new thing; 

now it shall spring forth; shall ye not 

know it?  I will even make a way 

in the wilderness, and rivers in 

the desert.  The beast of the field shall 

honour me, the dragons and the owls: 

because I give waters in the wilderness, 

and rivers in the desert, to give drink to 

my people, my chosen. This people have 

I formed for myself; they shall shew forth 

my praise.  But thou hast not called upon 

me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary 

of me, O Israel. Thou hast not brought me 

the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither 

hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. 

I have not caused thee to serve with an 

offering, nor wearied thee with incense.

Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with 

money, neither hast thou filled me with the 

fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to 

serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied 

me with thine iniquities. I, even I, am he that 

blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own 

sake, and will not remember thy sins.

Isaiah 43: 15-26
