Isaiah 43:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 43:18

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 “Do^a 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.

20 The beast of the field will honor Me,
The jackals and the ostriches,
Because ^aI give waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My people, My chosen.

21 ^aThis people I have formed for Myself;
They shall declare My ^bpraise.

22 “But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob;
And you ^ahave been weary of Me, O Israel.

23 ^aYou have not brought Me the sheep for your burnt offerings,
Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices.
I have not caused you to serve with grain offerings,
Nor wearied you with incense.
