Isaiah 43:10–20

¹⁰You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there shall be none.

¹¹I am, I am the Lord: and there is no saviour besides me.

¹²I have declared, and have saved. I have made it heard, and there was no strange one among you. You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.

¹³And from the beginning I am the same, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall turn it away?

¹⁴Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.

¹⁵I am the Lord your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

¹⁶Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters.

¹⁷Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong: they lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax, and are extinct.

¹⁸Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.

¹⁹Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

²⁰The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen.
