43:16This is what the Lord says,

the one who made a road through the sea,

a pathway through the surging waters,

43:17the 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.

Read in Logos
Isaiah 43:18: ...Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Thus says the Lord,

who makes a way in the sea,

a path in the mighty waters,

who brings forth chariot and horse,

army and warrior;

they lie down, they cannot rise,

they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:

“Remember not the former things,

nor consider the things of old.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

This is what the Lord says—

he who made a way through the sea,

a path through the mighty waters,

who drew out the chariots and horses,

the army and reinforcements together,

and they lay there, never to rise again,

extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

“Forget the former things;

do not dwell on the past.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

This is what the Lord says—

who makes a way in the sea,

and a path through raging water,

who brings out the chariot and horse,

the army and the mighty one together

(they lie down, they do not rise again;

they are extinguished, put out like a wick)—

“Do not remember the past events;

pay no attention to things of old.

NLTNew Living Translation

I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters,

making a dry path through the sea.

I called forth the mighty army of Egypt

with all its chariots and horses.

I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned,

their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick.

“But forget all that—

it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Thus says Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea

and a path in the mighty waters,

who brings out chariot and horse,

army and mighty one.

Together they lie down;

they cannot rise.

They are extinguished,

quenched like a wick.

“You must not remember the former things,

and you must not consider the former things.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea,

And a path in the mighty waters;

Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power;

They shall lie down together, they shall not rise:

They are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

Remember ye not the former things,

Neither consider the things of old.
