²⁰ The wild beasts will honor me,
    ^(A)the jackals and the ostriches,
^(B)for I give water in the wilderness,
    rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,

^18 (A)I will open rivers on the bare heights,
    and fountains in the midst of the valleys.
^(B)I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
    and the dry land springs of water.

^6 (A)then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
    and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
^(B)For waters break forth in the wilderness,
    and streams in the desert;
^7 (C)the burning sand shall become a pool,
    and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of ^(D)jackals, where they lie down,
    the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
