Isaiah 43:14–21
GOD’S DELIVERANCE OF REBELLIOUS ISRAEL
14 This is what the Lord, your Redeemer,z the Holy One of Israelaa says:
Because of you, I will send an armyC to Babylon
and bring all of them as fugitives,D
even the Chaldeansab in the ships in which they rejoice.E
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 This is what the Lord says—
who makes a way in the sea,
and a path through raging water,ac
17 who brings out the chariot and horse,ad
the army and the mighty one together
(they lie down, they do not rise again;
they are extinguished, put out like a wickae)—
18 “Do not remember the past events;
pay no attention to things of old.af
19 Look, I am about to do something new;ag
even now it is coming. Do you not see it?
Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,ah
riversF in the desert.
jackals and ostriches—will honor me,
because I provide water in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert,a
to give drink to my chosen people.
21 The people I formed for myself
will declare my praise.b
