Isaiah 43:10–21

10  Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am HE: before me there was no •God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11  I, I am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour. 12  It is I that have declared, and have saved, and have shewed, when there was no strange god among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, that I am •God. 13  Yea, since the day was, I am HE, and there is none that delivereth out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?

14  Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. 15  I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. 16  Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters, 17  who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power—they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as tow: 18  —Remember not the former things, neither consider the ancient things: 19  behold, I do a new thing; now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the waste. 20  The beast of the field shall glorify me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I will give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the waste, to give drink to my people, my chosen. 21  This people have I formed for myself: they shall shew forth my praise.
