Isaiah 50:2
New Living Translation
2 Why was no one there when I came?
Why didn’t anyone answer when I called?
Is it because I have no power to rescue?
No, that is not the reason!
For I can speak to the sea and make it dry up!
I can turn rivers into deserts covered with dying fish.
Isaiah 50:2
New International Version
Psalm 107:33-35
New Living Translation
33 He changes rivers into deserts,
and springs of water into dry, thirsty land.
34 He turns the fruitful land into salty wastelands,
because of the wickedness of those who live there.
35 But he also turns deserts into pools of water,
the dry land into springs of water.
Psalm 107:33-35
New International Version
Romans 11:12-22
New Living Translation
12 Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God’s offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.
13 I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this, 14 for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them. 15 For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead! 16 And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.
17 But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree. 18 But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
19 “Well,” you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.” 20 Yes, but remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen. 21 For if God did not spare the original branches, he won’t[a] spare you either.
22 Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.

Romans 11:12-22
New International Version
12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles,(A) how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,(B) I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy(C) and save(D) some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation(E) to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?(F) 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits(G) is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 If some of the branches have been broken off,(H) and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others(I) and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.(J) 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.(K) Do not be arrogant,(L) but tremble.(M) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness(N) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(O) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(P)

19 For I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
20 The wild animals in the fields will thank me,
the jackals and owls, too,
for giving them water in the desert.
Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland
so my chosen people can be refreshed.

the jackals(E) and the owls,
because I provide water(F) in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,

6 The lame will leap like a deer,
and those who cannot speak will sing for joy!
Springs will gush forth in the wilderness,
and streams will water the wasteland.
7 The parched ground will become a pool,
and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land.
Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish
where desert jackals once lived.
Isaiah 35:6-7

6 Then will the lame(A) leap like a deer,(B)
and the mute tongue(C) shout for joy.(D)
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams(E) in the desert.
7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground(F) bubbling springs.(G)
In the haunts where jackals(H) once lay,
grass and reeds(I) and papyrus will grow.
