Isaiah 43:20 in Context — Isaiah 43

18 Ne pensez plus aux événements passés, Et ne considérez plus ce qui est ancien.

19 Voici, je vais faire une chose nouvelle, sur le point d’arriver: Ne la connaîtrez-vous pas? Je mettrai un chemin dans le désert, Et des fleuves dans la solitude.

20 Les bêtes des champs me glorifieront, Les chacals et les autruches, Parce que j’aurai mis des eaux dans le désert, Des fleuves dans la solitude, Pour abreuver mon peuple, mon élu.

21 Le peuple que je me suis formé Publiera mes louanges.

22 Et tu ne m’as pas invoqué, ô Jacob! Car tu t’es lassé de moi, ô Israël!
