The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me,
because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Isaiah 43:20 in context
Isaiah 43:17–23
17
who brings out the chariot and horse,
the army and the mighty man
(they lie down together, they shall not rise;
they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:
18
“Don’t remember the former things,
and don’t consider the things of old.
19
Behold, I will do a new thing.
It springs out now.
Don’t you know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.
20
Selected verse
The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me,
because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21
the people which I formed for myself,
that they might declare my praise.
22
Yet you have not called on me, Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, Israel.
23
You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings,
neither have you honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
nor wearied you with frankincense.
