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 The Lord says—who makes a way in the sea
    and a path in the mighty waters,
17     who brings out chariot and horse,
    army and battalion;
    they will lie down together and will not rise;
    they will be extinguished, extinguished like a wick.
18 Don’t remember the prior things;
    don’t ponder ancient history.
19 Look! I’m doing a new thing;
    now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it?
I’m making a way in the desert,
    paths[a] in the wilderness.
20 The beasts of the field,
        the jackals and ostriches, will honor me,
    because I have put water in the desert
    and streams in the wilderness
    to give water to my people,
    my chosen ones,
21     this people whom I formed for myself,
        who will recount my praise.
