Isaiah 43:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all its chariots and horses, to lie beneath the waves, dead, their lives snuffed out like candlewicks.

¹⁸ But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I’m going to do! ¹⁹ For I’m going to do a brand-new thing. See, I have already begun! Don’t you see it? I will make a road through the wilderness of the world for my people to go home, and create rivers for them in the desert!
