¹⁶ Thus says the Lord,
    ^(A)who makes a way in the sea,
    a path in the mighty waters,
¹⁷ who ^(B)brings forth chariot and horse,
    army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
    ^(C)they are extinguished, ^(D)quenched like a wick:
^18 (E)“Remember not the former things,
    nor consider the things of old.
^19 (F)Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
^(G)I will make a way in the wilderness
    ^(H)and rivers in the desert.

¹³ My son, ^(A)eat honey, for it is good,
    and ^(B)the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
¹⁴ Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
    if you find it, there will be ^(C)a future,
    and your hope will not be cut off.
