Isaiah 43:16–19

43:16 This is what the Lord says,

the one who made a road through the sea,

a pathway through the surging waters,

43:17 the one who led chariots and horses to destruction,17

together with a mighty army.

They fell down,18 never to rise again;

they were extinguished, put out like a burning wick:

43:18 “Don’t remember these earlier events;19

don’t recall these former events.

43:19 “Look, I am about to do something new.

Now it begins to happen!20 Do you not recognize21 it?

Yes, I will make a road in the desert

and paths22 in the wilderness.
