14 The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed,
(A)That he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.
15 But I am the Lord your God,
Who (B)divided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.
16 And (C)I have put My words in your mouth;
(D)I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
(E)That I may [a]plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
