Isaiah 43:10-19
English Standard Version
10 (A)“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and (B)my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
(C)Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me.
11 (D)I, I am the Lord,
and besides me there is no savior.
12 I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and (E)you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.
13 Also (F)henceforth I am he;
there is none who can deliver from my hand;
I work, and who can turn it back?”
14 Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
(G)“For your sake I send to Babylon
and (H)bring them all down as fugitives,
(I)even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16 Thus says the Lord,
(J)who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17 who (K)brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
(L)they are extinguished, (M)quenched like a wick:
18 (N)“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19 (O)Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
(P)I will make a way in the wilderness
(Q)and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:10-19
New International Version
10 “You are my witnesses,(A)” declares the Lord,
“and my servant(B) whom I have chosen,
so that you may know(C) and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god(D) was formed,
nor will there be one after me.(E)
11 I, even I, am the Lord,(F)
and apart from me there is no savior.(G)
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god(H) among you.
You are my witnesses,(I)” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
13 Yes, and from ancient days(J) I am he.(K)
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?”(L)
God’s Mercy and Israel’s Unfaithfulness
14 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer,(M) the Holy One(N) of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
and bring down as fugitives(O) all the Babylonians,[a](P)
in the ships in which they took pride.
15 I am the Lord,(Q) your Holy One,
Israel’s Creator,(R) your King.(S)”
16 This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,(T)
17 who drew out(U) the chariots and horses,(V)
the army and reinforcements together,(W)
and they lay(X) there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:(Y)
18 “Forget the former things;(Z)
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!(AA)
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness(AB)
and streams in the wasteland.(AC)
