God’s Mercy and Israel’s Unfaithfulness

14This is what the Lord says—

your Redeemer,q the Holy Oner of Israel:

“For your sake I will send to Babylon

and bring down as fugitivess all the Babylonians,bt

in the ships in which they took pride.

15I am the Lord,u your Holy One,

Israel’s Creator,v your King.w”

16This is what the Lord says—

he who made a way through the sea,

a path through the mighty waters,x

17who drew outy the chariots and horses,z

the army and reinforcements together,a

and they layb there, never to rise again,

extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:c

18“Forget the former things;d

do not dwell on the past.

19See, I am doing a new thing!e

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wildernessf

and streams in the wasteland.g

20The wild animalsh honor me,

the jackalsi and the owls,

because I provide waterj in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland,

to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21the people I formedk for myselfl

that they may proclaim my praise.m

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

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Thus says the Lord,

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

“For your sake I send to Babylon

and bring them all down as fugitives,

even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

I am the Lord, your Holy One,

the Creator of Israel, your King.”

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.

Behold, I am doing a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

and rivers in the desert.

The wild beasts will honor me,

the jackals and the ostriches,

for I give water in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert,

to give drink to my chosen people,

the people whom I formed for myself

that they might declare my praise.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says:

Because of you, I will send an army to Babylon

and bring all of them as fugitives,

even the Chaldeans in the ships in which they rejoice.

I am the Lord, your Holy One,

the Creator of Israel, your King.

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.

Look, I am about to do something new;

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

Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert.

Wild animals—

jackals and ostriches—will honor me,

because I provide water in the wilderness,

and rivers in the desert,

to give drink to my chosen people.

The people I formed for myself

will declare my praise.

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

“For your sakes I will send an army against Babylon,

forcing the Babylonians to flee in those ships they are so proud of.

I am the Lord, your Holy One,

Israel’s Creator and King.

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.

For I am about to do something new.

See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

The wild animals in the fields will thank me,

the jackals and owls, too,

for giving them water in the desert.

Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland

so my chosen people can be refreshed.

I have made Israel for myself,

and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer,

the holy one of Israel:

“For your sake I will send to Babylon,

and I will cause all of them to fall down as fugitives,

and the Chaldeans, their rejoicing on the ships.

I am Yahweh, your holy one,

the creator of Israel, your king.”

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.

Look! I am about to do a new thing! Now it sprouts!

Do you not perceive it?

Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert.

The animals of the field will honor me,

jackals and daughters of the ostrich,

for I give water in the wilderness,

rivers in the desert,

to give a drink to my chosen people,

this people whom I formed for myself,

so they might make known my praise.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;

For your sake I have sent to Babylon,

And have brought down all their nobles,

And the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

I am the Lord, your Holy One,

The creator of Israel, your King.

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.

Behold, I will do a new thing;

Now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?

I will even make a way in the wilderness,

And rivers in the desert.

The beast of the field shall honour me,

The dragons and the owls:

Because I give waters in the wilderness,

And rivers in the desert,

To give drink to my people, my chosen.

This people have I formed for myself;

They shall shew forth my praise.
