Isaiah 43:10–20

¹⁰“You ^pare My witnesses,” says the Lord,

^q“And My servant whom I have chosen,

That you may know and ^rbelieve Me,

And understand that I am He.

Before Me there was no God formed,

Nor shall there be after Me.

¹¹I, even I, ^sam the Lord,

And besides Me there is no savior.

¹²I have declared and saved,

I have proclaimed,

And there was no ^tforeign god among you;

^uTherefore you are My witnesses,”

Says the Lord, “that I am God.

^13vIndeed before the day was, I am He;

And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;

I work, and who will ^wreverse it?”

¹⁴Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,

The Holy One of Israel:

“For your sake I will send to Babylon,

And bring them all down as fugitives—

The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.

¹⁵I am the Lord, your Holy One,

The Creator of Israel, your ^xKing.”

¹⁶Thus says the Lord, who ^ymakes a way in the sea

And a ^zpath through the mighty waters,

¹⁷Who ^abrings forth the chariot and horse,

The army and the power

(They shall lie down together, they shall not rise;

They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick):

¹⁸“Do ^bnot remember the former things,

Nor consider the things of old.

¹⁹Behold, I will do a ^cnew thing,

Now it shall spring forth;

Shall you not know it?

^dI will even make a road in the wilderness

And rivers in the desert.

²⁰The beast of the field will honor Me,

The jackals and the ostriches,

Because ^eI give waters in the wilderness

And rivers in the desert,

To give drink to My people, My chosen.
