16Long ago the Lord opened

a way for his people to go through the Red Sea.

He made a path through the mighty waters.

17He caused Egypt to send out its chariots and horses.

He sent its entire army to its death.

Its soldiers lay down there.

They never got up again.

They were destroyed.

They were blown out like a dimly burning flame.

But the Lord says,

18“Forget the things that happened in the past.

Do not keep on thinking about them.

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

In other versions

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.
