The verses around Isaiah 43:19.
17Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Verse explanation
“A new thing” contrasts with the Exodus recalled before: instead of repeating the past, the text promises an unprecedented event, with a way in the wilderness and rivers in dry land, an image of provision on a journey home.
From the Isaiah 43 study in Bible in Stories.
