He was amazed that there was no one interceding;
so His own arm brought salvation,

I will destine you for the sword,
and all of you will kneel down to be slaughtered,
because I called and you did not answer,
I spoke and you did not hear;
you did what was evil in My sight
and chose what I did not delight in.

they did what was evil in My sight
and chose what I didn’t delight in.

Since I called out and you refused,
extended my hand and no one paid attention,

then I will forgive her.

Now, because you have done all these things”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“and because I have spoken to you time and time again but you wouldn’t listen, and I have called to you, but you wouldn’t answer,

I have paid careful attention.
They do not speak what is right.
No one regrets his evil,

The more they called them,

the more they departed from Me.
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
and burning offerings to idols.

and His own people did not receive Him.

and His ear is not too deaf to hear.

Who among all the gods of these lands ever delivered his land from my power? So will the Lord deliver Jerusalem.”

So now, don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, and don’t let him mislead you like this. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my power or the power of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my power!’”

Now if you’re ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music, fall down and worship the statue I made. But if you don’t worship it, you will immediately be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire—and who is the god who can rescue you from my power?”

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;
He led them through the depths as through a desert.

the waters of the great deep,
who made the sea-bed into a road
for the redeemed to pass over?

and led them through the depths
like a horse in the wilderness,
so that they did not stumble.

the Jordan turned back.
