16. Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea And a path through the mighty waters,
17. Who brings forth the chariot and the horse, The army and the mighty man (They will lie down together and not rise again; They have been quenched and extinguished like a wick):
18. "Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past.
19. "Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.
20. "The beasts of the field will glorify Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I have given waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My chosen people.
21. "The people whom I formed for Myself Will declare My praise.
22. "Yet you have not called on Me, O Jacob; But you have become weary of Me, O Israel.
