13 From the dawn of time, I am the one.No one can escape my power.I act, and who can undo it?
14 The Lord your redeemer,the holy one of Israel, says,For your sake, I have sent an army to Babylon,and brought down all the bars,turning the Chaldeans’ singing into a lament.
15 I am the Lord, your holy one,Israel’s creator, your king!
16 The Lord says—who makes a way in the seaand a path in the mighty waters,
17 who brings out chariot and horse,army and battalion;they will lie down together and will not rise;they will be extinguished, extinguished like a wick.
18 Don’t remember the prior things;don’t ponder ancient history.
19 Look! I’m doing a new thing;now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it?I’m making a way in the desert,paths in the wilderness.
