Isaiah 43:16-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,(A)
17 who brings out chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down; they cannot rise;
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:(B)
18 Do not remember the former things
or consider the things of old.(C)
19 I am about to do a new thing;
now it springs forth; do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.(D)
20 The wild animals will honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches,
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,(E)
21 the people whom I formed for myself
so that they might declare my praise.(F)
Isaiah 43:16-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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)
