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)

Isaiah 43:16-21
Common English Bible
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.
