12 I have declared and have saved, and I have showed when there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.
13 Even before the day was I existed; and there is no one that can deliver out of my hand; if I work, who shall hinder it?
14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon and caused fugitives to descend unto all of them and the clamour of Chaldeans in the ships.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus saith the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters;
17 when he brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall fall together, and never rise; they are extinct; they are quenched as wick.
18 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
