Isaiah 43:14–21

Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships. 15I am the Lord your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. 16Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters. 17Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong: they lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax, and are extinct. 18Remember not former things, and look not on things of old. 19Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen. 21This people have I formed for myself, they shall shew forth my praise.
