"Thus says YAHWEH,
who opened a way through the sea
and a path in the mighty waters,
who brought down chariots and horses,
a whole army of them,
and there they lay, never to rise again,
snuffed out like a wick.
But do not dwell on the past,
or remember the things of old.
Look, I AM doing a new thing:
now it springs forth.
Do you not see?
I AM opening up a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
The beasts of the land will honor ME,
jackals and ostriches,
because I give water in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert
that MY chosen people may drink.
I have formed this people for MYSELF;
they will proclaim MY praise."
- Isaiah 43:16-21
(These verses, we hear this once again: the new Exodus from Babylon will surpass that from
Egypt: you have done enough looking at the past; now look to the future.)
