Isaiah 41:17-20

English Standard Version

^17 (A)When the poor and needy seek water,
    and there is none,
    and their tongue is parched with thirst,
I the Lord will answer them;
    I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
^18 (B)I will open rivers on the bare heights,
    and fountains in the midst of the valleys.
^(C)I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
    and the dry land springs of water.
^19 (D)I will put in the wilderness the cedar,
    the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.
I will set in the desert ^(E)the cypress,
    the plane and the pine together,
²⁰ that they may see and know,
    may consider and understand together,
that ^(F)the hand of the Lord has done this,
    the Holy One of Israel has created it.
