come what may...

¹⁸ “Forget the former things;

do not dwell on the past.

¹⁹ See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland.

²⁰ The wild animals honor me,

the jackals and the owls,

because i provide water in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland,

to give drink to my people, my chosen,

²¹ the people i formed for myself,

that they may proclaim my praise.

Isaiah 43:18-21 (NIV)
