19“Behold, I will do something anew;

Now it will spring forth;

Will you not know it?

I will even bmake a roadway in the wilderness,

Rivers in the wasteland.

20“The beasts of the field will glorify Me,

The ajackals and the ostriches,

Because I have bgiven waters in the wilderness

And rivers in the wasteland,

To give drink to My chosen people.
