Isaiah 43:10–20

¹⁰“You are My witnesses” ^m—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

“and My servant whom I have chosen, ⁿ

so that you may know and believe Me

and understand that I am He. ^o

No god was formed before Me,

and there will be none after Me. ^p

¹¹I, I am Yahweh,

and there is no other Savior but Me. ^q

¹²I alone declared, saved, and proclaimed—

and not some foreign god ^ramong you.

So you are My witnesses”—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

“and ^sI am God. ^t

¹³Also, from today on I am He alone,

and none can deliver from My hand. ^u

I act, and who can reverse it?” ^v

God’s Deliverance of Rebellious Israel

¹⁴This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, ^wthe Holy One of Israel ^xsays:

Because of you, I will send to Babylon

and bring all of them as fugitives, ^y

even the Chaldeans ^zin the ships in which they rejoice. ^a

¹⁵I am Yahweh, your Holy One,

the Creator of Israel, your King.

¹⁶This is what the Lord says—

who makes a way in the sea,

and a path through surging waters, ^b

¹⁷who brings out the chariot and horse, ^c

the army and the mighty one together

(they lie down, they do not rise again;

they are extinguished, quenched like a wick ^d)—

¹⁸“Do not remember the past events,

pay no attention to things of old. ^e

¹⁹Look, I am about to do something new; ^f

even now it is coming. Do you not see it?

Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, ^g

rivers ^hin the desert.

²⁰The animals of the field will honor Me,

jackals and ostriches,

because I provide water in the wilderness,

and rivers in the desert, ⁱ

to give drink to My chosen people.
