¹⁶ This is what the Lord says.
    He is the one who made a road through the sea
    and a path through rough waters.

¹⁸ The Lord says, “Forget what happened before,
    and do not think about the past.
¹⁹ Look at the new thing I am going to do.
    It is already happening. Don’t you see it?
I will make a road in the desert
    and rivers in the dry land.
