12. I have declared, and have saved, and I proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses,
13. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?
14. Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
15. I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16. Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17. Who brings 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. Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20. The beast of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21. This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
22. But you have not called upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.
