Isaiah 43:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ The Lord says, “Forget what happened before.
    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.
    I will make rivers in the dry land.
²⁰ Even the wild animals will be thankful to me.
    The wild dogs and owls will honor me.
They will honor me when I put water in the desert.
    They will honor me when I make rivers in the dry land.
I will do this to give water to my people, the ones I chose.
