16  Thus says the Lord,

^hwho makes a way in the sea,

a path in the mighty waters,

17  who ⁱbrings forth chariot and horse,

army and warrior;

they lie down, they cannot rise,

^jthey are extinguished, ^kquenched like a wick:

18  ^l“Remember not the former things,

nor consider the things of old.

19  ^mBehold, I am doing a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

ⁿI will make a way in the wilderness

^oand rivers in the desert.
