Isaiah 41:19-21
Good News Translation
19 I will make cedars grow in the desert,
and acacias and myrtles and olive trees.
Forests will grow in barren land,
forests of pine and juniper and cypress.
20 People will see this and know
that I, the Lord, have done it.
They will come to understand
that Israel's holy God has made it happen.”

“You gods of the nations, present your case.
Bring the best arguments you have!
