Isaiah 43:14
Compare all
12 I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no aforeign god among you;
bTherefore you are My witnesses,”
Says the Lord, “that I am God. 
13 aIndeed before the day was, I am He;
And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
I work, and who will breverse it?” 
14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon,
And bring them all down as fugitives—
The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
The Creator of Israel, your aKing.” 
16 Thus says the Lord, who amakes a way in the sea
And a bpath through the mighty waters, 
17 Who abrings forth the chariot and horse,
The army and the power
(They shall lie down together, they shall not rise;
They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): 
18 “Doa not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old. 
19 Behold, I will do a anew thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
bI will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:14

sent—namely, the Medes and Persians (Isaiah 10:5-6; Isaiah 13:3).

brought down—"made to go down" to the sea (Isaiah 42:10), in order to escape the impending destruction of Babylon.

nobles—rather, "fugitives," namely, the foreigners who sojourned in populous Babylon (Isaiah 13:14), distinct from the Chaldeans [MAURER].

whose cry is in the ships—exulting in their ships with the joyous sailors—cry, boastingly; their joy heretofore in their ships contrasts sadly with their present panic in fleeing to them (Isaiah 22:2; Zephaniah 2:15). Babylon was on the Euphrates, which was joined to the Tigris by a canal, and flowed into the Persian Gulf. Thus it was famed for ships and commerce until the Persian monarchs, to prevent revolt or invasion, obstructed navigation by dams across the Tigris and Euphrates.
