1I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior.
12
I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and
2you are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and I am God.
13
Also
3henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?"
14
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
4"For your sake I send to Babylon and
5bring them all down as fugitives,
6even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
15
I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."
16
Thus says the LORD,
7who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,
17
who
8brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise,
9they are extinguished,
10quenched like a wick:
18
11"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.
19
12Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
13I will make a way in the wilderness
14and rivers in the desert.
20
The wild beasts will honor me,
15the jackals and the ostriches,
16for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people,
21
the people whom I formed for myself
17that they might declare my praise.
