Isaiah 43:20-22
Contemporary English Version
20 Every wild animal honors me,
even jackals[a] and owls.
I provide water in deserts—
streams in thirsty lands
for my chosen people.
21 I made them my own nation,
so they would praise me.
22 I, the Lord, said to Israel:
You have become weary of me,
but not from worshiping me.

22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
