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)—
