17 who brings forth chariot and horse,army and warrior;they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
18 “Remember not the former things,nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20 The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness,rivers in the desert,to give drink to my chosen people,
21 the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.
22 “Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,or honored me with your sacrifices.I have not burdened you with offerings, or wearied you with frankincense.
