16 Thus says Yahweh,

Who (A)makes a way through the sea
And a path through the mighty waters,
17 Who brings forth the (B)chariot and the horse,
The military force and the mighty man;
They will lie down together and not rise again;
They have been (C)extinguished and quenched like a wick:
18 (D)Do not remember the former things,
Nor carefully consider things of the past.
19 Behold, I will do something (E)new;
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not know it?
I will even (F)make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the wasteland.
20 The beasts of the field will glorify Me,
The (G)jackals and the ostriches,
Because I have (H)given waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the wasteland,
To give drink to My chosen people.
21 The people whom (I)I formed for Myself
(J)Will recount My praise.

16 This is what the Lord says—
who makes a way in the sea,
and a path through surging waters,(A)
17 who brings out the chariot and horse,(B)
the army and the mighty one together
(they lie down, they do not rise again;
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick(C))—
18 “Do not remember the past events,
pay no attention to things of old.(D)
19 Look, I am about to do something new;(E)
even now it is coming. Do you not see it?
Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,(F)
rivers[a] in the desert.
20 The animals of the field will honor Me,
jackals and ostriches,
because I provide water in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert,(G)
to give drink to My chosen people.
21 The people I formed for Myself
will declare My praise.(H)
