15I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Maker of Israel, your King.
16This is the word of the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a road through the deep waters;
17Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out.
18Give no thought to the things which are past; let the early times go out of your minds.
19See, I am doing a new thing; now it is starting; will you not take note of it? I will even make a way in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country.
20The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:
21Even the people whom I made to be the witnesses of my praise.
