Isaiah 43:18 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

This is what GOD says, the God who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves, The God who summons horses and chariots and armies— they lie down and then can’t get up; they’re snuffed out like so many candles: “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands. Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’ —the coyotes and the buzzards— Because I provided water in the desert, rivers through the sunbaked earth, Drinking water for the people I chose, the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past.

The LORD says, “Forget what happened before, and do not think about the past.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.

“Do not remember the former things, Or ponder the things of the past.

“But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

“Stop dwelling on the past. Don’t even remember these former things.

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.
