Isaiah

Isaiah 43:19–20

19Behold, 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

and streams in the desert.

20The beasts of the field will honor Me,

the jackalsc and the ostriches,d

because I provide water in the wilderness

and rivers in the desert,

to give drink to My chosen people.
