Isaiah 43:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ I am creating something new.
    There it is! Do you see it?
I have put roads in deserts,
    streams^[a] in thirsty lands.
²⁰ Every wild animal honors me,
    even jackals^[b] and owls.
I provide water in deserts—
streams in thirsty lands
    for my chosen people.
²¹ I made them my own nation,
    so they would praise me.
