Isaiah 43:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ He is the one who ·defeated [^Lled out] the chariots and horses
    and the mighty armies [Ex. 14:4–9].
They ·fell together [lay down] and will never rise again.
    They were ·destroyed [extinguished] as a ·flame [^Lwick] is put out.
¹⁸ The Lord says, “Forget what happened before,
    and do not ·think about [consider; dwell on] the past.
¹⁹ Look at the new thing I am going to do.
    It is already ·happening [^Lsprouting/springing up]. Don’t you see it?
I will make a ·road [path; way] in the ·desert [wilderness; ^Cthe return from Babylon is portrayed as a new Exodus]
    and ·rivers^[a] [streams] in the ·dry land [desert; wasteland].
