Isaiah 43:16-21
New American Standard Bible
16 This is what the Lord says,
He who (A)makes a way through the sea
And a path through the mighty waters,
17 Who brings out the (B)chariot and the horse,
The army and the mighty man
(They will lie down together and not rise again;
They have been (C)extinguished, and have gone out like a wick):
18 “(D)Do not call to mind the former things,
Or consider things of the past.
19 Behold, I am going to do something (E)new,
Now it will spring up;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even (F)make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.
20 The animals of the field will glorify Me,
The (G)jackals and the ostriches,
Because I have (H)given waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My chosen people.
21 The people whom (I)I formed for Myself
(J)Will declare My praise.
Isaiah 43:16-21
Christian Standard Bible
16 This is what the Lord says—
who makes a way in the sea,
and a path through raging water,(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, put out 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 Wild animals—
jackals and ostriches—will honor me,
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)
