MSG ^(16-21)This is what God says,
  the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
  who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
  they lie down and then can’t get up;
  they’re snuffed out like so many candles:
“Forget about what’s happened;
  don’t keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.
  It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?
There it is! I’m making a road through the desert,
  rivers in the badlands.
Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’
  —the coyotes and the buzzards—
Because I provided water in the desert,
  rivers through the sunbaked earth,
Drinking water for the people I chose,
  the people I made especially for myself,
  a people custom-made to praise me.
