in the desert.

¹⁸ Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. ¹⁹ Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. ²⁰ Wild animals—jackals and ostriches—will honor me, because I provide water in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people. ²¹ The people I formed for myself will declare my praise.

Isaiah 43:18-21
