17. He leads chariots and horses, an army and reinforcements.(They lie down together and do not get up ⌊again⌋.They are extinguished and snuffed out like a wick.)This is what the Lord says:
18. Forget what happened in the past,and do not dwell on events from long ago.
19. I am going to do something new.It is already happening. Don’t you recognize it?I will clear a way in the desert.I will make rivers on dry land.
20. Wild animals, jackals, and ostriches will honor me.I will provide water in the desert.I will make rivers on the dry land for my chosen people to drink.
21. I have formed these people for myself.They will praise me.
