Isaiah 43:14-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
For your sake I will send to Babylon
and break down all the bars,
and the shouting of the Chaldeans will be turned to lamentation.[a](A)
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,(B)
17 who brings out chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down; they cannot rise;
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:(C)
18 Do not remember the former things
or consider the things of old.(D)
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.(E)
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,(F)
21 the people whom I formed for myself
so that they might declare my praise.(G)

God’s Mercy and Israel’s Unfaithfulness
14 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer,(A) the Holy One(B) of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
and bring down as fugitives(C) all the Babylonians,[a](D)
in the ships in which they took pride.
15 I am the Lord,(E) your Holy One,
Israel’s Creator,(F) your King.(G)”
16 This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,(H)
17 who drew out(I) the chariots and horses,(J)
the army and reinforcements together,(K)
and they lay(L) there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:(M)
18 “Forget the former things;(N)
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!(O)
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness(P)
and streams in the wasteland.(Q)
20 The wild animals(R) honor me,
the jackals(S) and the owls,
because I provide water(T) in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 the people I formed(U) for myself(V)
that they may proclaim my praise.(W)

King James Version
14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
