Isaiah 43:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ The Lord says, “Forget what happened before,
    and do not think about the past.
¹⁹ Look at the new thing I am going to do.
    It is already happening. Don’t you see it?
I will make a road in the desert
    and rivers in the dry land.
²⁰ Even the wild animals will be thankful to me—
    the wild dogs and owls.
They will honor me when I put water in the desert
    and rivers in the dry land
to give water to my people, the ones I chose.
