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.
20 The wild beasts will honor me,
    (I)the jackals and the ostriches,
(J)for I give water in the wilderness,
    rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
21     the people whom I formed for myself
(K)that they might declare 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)
