17 “Those who are poor and needy search for water.
    But there isn’t any.
    Their tongues are dry because they are thirsty.
But I will help them. I am the Lord.
    I will not desert them.
    I am Israel’s God.
18 I will make streams flow on the bare hilltops.
    I will make springs come up in the valleys.
I will turn the desert into pools of water.
    I will turn the dry and cracked ground into flowing springs.
19 I will make trees grow in the desert.
    I will plant cedar and acacia trees there.
    I will plant myrtle and olive trees there.
I will make juniper trees grow in the dry and empty desert.
    I will plant fir and cypress trees there.
20 Then people will see and know
    that my powerful hand has done it.
They will consider and understand
    that I have created it.
    I am the Holy One of Israel.”
