15. I am the Lord, your Holy One,the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16. Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea,a path in the mighty waters,
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,
