²⁰ Wild animals –
jackals and ostriches – will honour me,
because I provide water in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert,^(A)
to give drink to my chosen people.

with the wild animals, the birds of the sky,
and the creatures that crawl on the ground.^(A)
I will shatter bow, sword,
and weapons of war in the land^[a](B)
and will enable the people to rest securely.^(C)
