Isaiah 43:14-20

English Standard Version

¹⁴ Thus says the Lord,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
^(A)“For your sake I send to Babylon
    and ^(B)bring them all down as fugitives,
    ^(C)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,
    ^(D)who makes a way in the sea,
    a path in the mighty waters,
¹⁷ who ^(E)brings forth chariot and horse,
    army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
    ^(F)they are extinguished, ^(G)quenched like a wick:
^18 (H)“Remember not the former things,
    nor consider the things of old.
^19 (I)Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
^(J)I will make a way in the wilderness
    ^(K)and rivers in the desert.
²⁰ The wild beasts will honor me,
    ^(L)the jackals and the ostriches,
^(M)for I give water in the wilderness,
    rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
