Contextual Overview
14Thus says Yahweh your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,"For your sake I have sent to Babylon,And will bring down those who fled—all of them,Even the Chaldeans—into the ships in which they shouted for joy. 15I am Yahweh, your Holy One,The Creator of Israel, your King." 16Thus says Yahweh,Who makes a way through the seaAnd a path through the mighty waters, 17Who brings forth the chariot and the horse,The military force and the mighty man;They will lie down together and not rise again;They have been extinguished and quenched like a wick: 18"Do not remember the former things,Nor carefully consider things of the past. 19Behold, I will do something new;Now it will spring forth;Will you not know it?I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,Rivers in the wasteland. 20The beasts of the field will glorify Me,The jackals and the ostriches,Because I have given waters in the wildernessAnd rivers in the wasteland,To give drink to My chosen people. 21The people whom I formed for MyselfWill recount My praise.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Remember ye not the former things,.... Just now referred to, the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, and through the Red sea, and the drowning of Pharaoh and his army in it; for though these things were worthy to be remembered with thankfulness and praise, and to the glory of God, and for the encouragement of faith, yet not in comparison of what was hereafter to be done; meaning, not the redemption from Babylon, unless as a type of spiritual and eternal redemption by Christ; for otherwise there were greater and more wonderful things done, when Israel were brought out of Egypt, than when they were brought out of Babylon; but the great salvation by the Messiah, which exceeds both the deliverances out of Egypt and Babylon, is meant:
neither consider the things of old; unless as figures of the new, but not to be put upon a foot with them, much less to the undervaluing of them, and indeed to be forgotten in comparison of them; see
Jeremiah 23:7. The Talmudists q, by the "former" things, understand subjection to kingdoms; and, by the "things of old", the going out of Egypt; as they do by the "new thing", in the following verse, the war of Gog and Magog.
q T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 13. 1. T. Hieros. Beracot, fol. 4. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Remember ye not ... - So great and wonderful shall be Godâs future interpositions in your behalf, that what he has done, great as that was, shall be comparatively forgotten.
The former things - The deliverance from Egypt, and the overthrow of his enemies there.
The things of old - The things that were formerly done.
