Isaiah 43:11-19

New International Version

¹¹I, even I, am the Lord,^(A)
    and apart from me there is no savior.^(B)
¹²I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
    I, and not some foreign god^(C) among you.
You are my witnesses,^(D)” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
¹³    Yes, and from ancient days^(E) I am he.^(F)
No one can deliver out of my hand.
    When I act, who can reverse it?”^(G)

God’s Mercy and Israel’s Unfaithfulness

¹⁴This is what the Lord says—
    your Redeemer,^(H) the Holy One^(I) of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
    and bring down as fugitives^(J) all the Babylonians,^[a]^(K)
    in the ships in which they took pride.
¹⁵I am the Lord,^(L) your Holy One,
    Israel’s Creator,^(M) your King.^(N)”

¹⁶This is what the Lord says—
    he who made a way through the sea,
    a path through the mighty waters,^(O)
¹⁷who drew out^(P) the chariots and horses,^(Q)
    the army and reinforcements together,^(R)
and they lay^(S) there, never to rise again,
    extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:^(T)
¹⁸“Forget the former things;^(U)
    do not dwell on the past.
¹⁹See, I am doing a new thing!^(V)
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness^(W)
    and streams in the wasteland.^(X)
