This is what the Lord says— he who made a way through the sea,
    a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses,
    the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again,
    extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: “Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.
{Isaiah 43:16 – 21}
