17 who brings out chariot and horse,army and battalion;they will lie down together and will not rise;they will be extinguished, extinguished like a wick.
18 Don’t remember the prior things;don’t ponder ancient history.
19 Look! I’m doing a new thing;now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it?I’m making a way in the desert,paths in the wilderness.
20 The beasts of the field,the jackals and ostriches, will honor me,because I have put water in the desertand streams in the wildernessto give water to my people,my chosen ones,
21 this people whom I formed for myself,who will recount my praise.
22 But you didn’t call out to me, Jacob;you were tired of me, Israel.
23 You didn’t bring me lambs for your entirely burned offering;you didn’t honor me with your sacrifices.I didn’t make you worship with offerings;I didn’t weary you with frankincense.
