Isaiah 43:17

Read in context

Isaiah 43:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”

16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,

17 who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

18 “Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.

19 Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
