Isaiah 43:14-21

14Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I send to Babylon and bring them all down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

15I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."

16Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,

17who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:

18"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.

19Behold, I am doing 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.

20The wild beasts 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,

21the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.
