Isaiah 43:15-21

15I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King.”

16This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters,

17who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

18“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

19See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

20The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.
