Isaiah

Isaiah 43:14–17

¹⁴Thus says the LORD your Redeemer,

the Holy One of Israel:

“For your sake, I will send to Babylon

and bring them all as fugitives,

even the Chaldeans,^b

in the ships in which they rejoice.

¹⁵I am the LORD, your Holy One,

the Creator of Israel, and your King.”

¹⁶Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea

and a path through the surging waters,

¹⁷who 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:
