14. Thus says the Lord, your redeemer,the Holy One of Israel:For your sake I send to Babylon;I will bring down all her defenses,and the Chaldeans shall cry out in lamentation.
15. I am the Lord, your Holy One,the creator of Israel, your King.
16. Thus says the Lord,who opens a way in the sea,a path in the mighty waters,
17. Who leads out chariots and horsemen,a powerful army,Till they lie prostrate together, never to rise,snuffed out, quenched like a wick.
18. Remember not the events of the past,the things of long ago consider not;
19. See, I am doing something new!Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?In the wilderness I make a way,in the wasteland, rivers.
20. Wild beasts honor me,jackals and ostriches,For I put water in the wildernessand rivers in the wastelandfor my chosen people to drink,
21. The people whom I formed for myself,that they might recount my praise.
22. Yet you did not call upon me, Jacob,for you grew weary of me, Israel.
