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
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.
