18 No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis á memoria las cosas antiguas.

19 He aquí que yo hago cosa nueva: presto saldrá á luz: ¿no la sabréis? Otra vez pondré camino en el desierto, y ríos en la soledad.

20 La bestia del campo me honrará, los chacales, y los pollos del avestruz: porque daré aguas en el desierto, ríos en la soledad, para que beba mi pueblo, mi escogido.

21 Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas publicará.

22 Y no me invocaste á mí, oh Jacob; antes, de mí te cansaste, oh Israel.
