Isaiah 43:20

Praise and worshipProtection and safety

18 “Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.

19 Behold, 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 and streams in the desert.

The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, 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.

22 But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.
