Isaiah 43:10–20

^10xYe are my witnesses, saith the Lord,

And ^ymy servant whom I have chosen:

That ye may know and believe me,

And understand that I am he:

^zBefore me there was no God formed,

Neither shall there be after me.

^11aI, even I, am the Lord;

^aAnd ^bbeside me there is no saviour.

¹²I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed,

When there was no ^cstrange god among you:

Therefore ^dye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that ^eI am God.

¹³Yea, ^efbefore the day was I am he;

And there is none that can deliver out of my hand:

I will work, and who shall ^glet it?

¹⁴Thus saith the Lord, ^hyour redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;

For your sake I have sent to Babylon,

And have brought down all their ⁱnobles,

And the ^kChaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

¹⁵I am the Lord, your Holy One,

The creator of Israel, your King.

¹⁶Thus saith the Lord, ^lwhich maketh a way in the sea,

And a path in the mighty waters;

^17mWhich bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power;

They shall lie down together, they shall not rise:

They are extinct, ⁿthey are quenched as tow.

^18oRemember ye not the former things,

Neither consider the things of old.

¹⁹Behold, I will do ^pa new thing;

Now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?

^qI will even make a way in the wilderness,

And ^rrivers in ^sthe desert.

²⁰The beast of the field shall honour me,

^tThe dragons and the owls:

Because ^rI give waters in the wilderness,

And rivers in ^sthe desert,

^rTo give drink to my people, my chosen.
