Isaiah 43:15-21

<sup>From the English Standard Version we will all use:

15</sup>I 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.
¹⁹ Behold, 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.
