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.
21
This people have I
formed for myself; they shall shew
forth my
praise.
22
But thou hast not
called upon me, O
Jacob; but thou hast been
weary of me, O
Israel.
23
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.
24
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.
25
I, even I, am he that blotteth
out thy
transgressions for mine own sake, and will not
remember thy
sins.

26
Put me in
remembrance : let us
plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be
justified .
27
Thy
first father hath
sinned , and thy
teachers have
transgressed against me.
28
Therefore I have
profaned the
princes of the
sanctuary, and have
given Jacob to the
curse, and
Israel to
reproaches.
