Isaiah 43:16-21 NIV

16 This is what the Lord says—

   he who made a way through the sea,

   a path through the mighty waters,

17 who 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.

19 See, 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.

20 The 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,

21    the people I formed for myself

   that they may proclaim my praise.
