19 Watch! I’m about to carry out something new!
    And[a] now it’s springing up—
        don’t you recognize it?
I’m making a way in the wilderness
    and paths[b] in the desert.
20 Wild animals, jackals, and owls[c] will honor me
    because I provide[d] water in the desert
and streams in the wilderness
    to give drink to my people, my chosen ones,[e]
21 the people whom I formed for myself
    and[f] so that they may speak[g] my praise.”
