17 “The poor and needy search for water,(A)
    but there is none;
    their tongues are parched with thirst.(B)
But I the Lord will answer(C) them;
    I, the God of Israel, will not forsake(D) them.
18 I will make rivers flow(E) on barren heights,
    and springs within the valleys.
I will turn the desert(F) into pools of water,(G)
    and the parched ground into springs.(H)
19 I will put in the desert(I)
    the cedar and the acacia,(J) the myrtle and the olive.
I will set junipers(K) in the wasteland,
    the fir and the cypress(L) together,(M)
20 so that people may see and know,(N)
    may consider and understand,(O)
that the hand(P) of the Lord has done this,
    that the Holy One(Q) of Israel has created(R) it.
