Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I will do a new thing, unusual, remarkable in its wonderful character; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? The challenge intends to call their attention to his action, of which He now speaks. I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, thereby performing a miracle which was unheard of among men.
