17. The poor and needy seek water, and there is none.Their tongue fails for thirst.I, the Lord, will answer them.I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18. I will open rivers on the bare heights,and springs in the middle of the valleys.I will make the wilderness a pool of water,and the dry land springs of water.
19. I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness.I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
20. that they may see, know, consider, and understand together,that the Lord’s hand has done this,and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
