17 “The [a]afflicted and needy are seeking (A)water, but there is none,
And their tongue is parched with thirst;
I, Yahweh, (B)will answer them Myself,
As the God of Israel I (C)will not forsake 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 and the (F)myrtle and the [b]olive tree;
I will place the (G)juniper in the desert
Together with the box tree and the cypress,
20 That (H)they may see and know,
And establish and gain insight as well,
That the (I)hand of Yahweh has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
