Isaiah 43:16-21
English Standard Version
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.
Isaiah 43:16-21
Lexham English Bible
16 Thus says Yahweh, who makes[a] a way in the sea
and a path in the mighty waters,
17 who brings out chariot and horse,
army and mighty one.
Together they lie down;
they cannot rise.
They are extinguished,
quenched like a wick.
18 “You must not remember the former things,
and you not must consider the former things.
19 Look! I am about to do a new thing! Now it sprouts!
Do you not perceive[b] it?
Indeed, I will make[c] a way in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert.
20 The animals of the field will honor me,
jackals and daughters of the ostrich,
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give a drink to my chosen people,
21 this people whom I formed for myself,
so they might make known[d] my praise.
