Isaiah 43:16
Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea
And a path through the mighty waters,

Application: 

Isaiah repeated God’s promise to bring his people out of Babylonian captivity and return them to the land of Israel (43:14). It is clear that this would be an act of God’s covenant faithfulness and mercy, not a result of his people’s merits. 

The promise of 43:18–19 must have reminded Isaiah’s readers of the exodus from Egypt, when God freed their forefathers from bondage and led them through the wilderness. But this exodus from Babylon would be even better, since it would restore the Jews to their homeland from which they had been expelled because of their sins. 

Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert (43:19) implies that even though the trip from Babylon back to Israel would lead through treacherous territory, God would go ahead of the people and make a way.
