43 ¹⁴ Thus says Yahweh, 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 lamentations.
43 ¹⁵ I am Yahweh, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King."
43 ¹⁶ Thus says Yahweh,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
43 ¹⁷ who brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
43 ¹⁸ "Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
43 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.
43 ²⁰ The wild beasts will honour me,
the jackals and the ostriches;
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
43 ²¹ the people whom I formed for myself
that they might declare my praise.
