Isaiah 41:17-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷ “The poor and needy are seeking ^(A)water, but there is none,
And their tongues are parched with thirst.
I, the Lord, ^(B)will answer them Myself;
As the God of Israel I ^(C)will not abandon them.
¹⁸ I will open ^(D)rivers on the bare heights,
And springs in the midst of the valleys;
I will make ^(E)the wilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land fountains of water.
¹⁹ I will put the cedar in the wilderness,
The acacia, the ^(F)myrtle, and the olive tree;
I will place the ^(G)juniper in the desert,
Together with the elm tree and the cypress,
²⁰ So that ^(H)they may see and recognize,
And consider and gain insight as well,
That the ^(I)hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
