Isaiah 41:17-20

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ The poor and the needy seek water, but there is none;
their tongues are parched with thirst.
I will answer them.^(A)
I am the Lord, the God of Israel. I will not abandon them.
¹⁸ I will open rivers on the barren heights,^(B)
and springs in the middle of the plains.
I will turn the desert into a pool
and dry land into springs.^(C)
19 I will plant cedar, acacia, myrtle, and olive trees
in the wilderness.^(D)
I will put juniper, elm, and cypress trees together
in the desert,
²⁰ so that all may see and know,
consider and understand,
that the hand of the Lord has done this,^(E)
the Holy One of Israel has created^(F) it.
