Isaiah 43:18
Compare all
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. 
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. 

Pleading with Unfaithful Israel

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.

Isaiah 43:18

So wonderful shall be God's future interpositions in your behalf, that all past ones shall be forgotten in comparison. Plainly the future restoration of Israel is the event ultimately meant. Thus the "former things" are such events as the destruction of Sennacherib and the return from Babylon. "Things of old" are events still more ancient, the deliverance from Egypt and at the Red Sea, and entry into Canaan [VITRINGA].
