16 This is what the Lord says- he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters,
16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
16 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,
16 This is what God says, the God who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves,
16 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters,
16 I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 43:16
Commentary on Isaiah 43:14-21
(Read Isaiah 43:14-21)
The deliverance from Babylon is foretold, but there is reference to greater events. The redemption of sinners by Christ, the conversion of the Gentiles, and the recall of the Jews, are described. All that is to be done to rescue sinners, and to bring the believer to glory, is little, compared with that wondrous work of love, the redemption of man.
