Isaiah 41:17-20
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

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.
