Isa 32:15, 35:1-2, 41:19, 49:5-6, 55:13, 65:12-16, Hos 1:9-10, Mat 19:30 | ESV | STEP | until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high , and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field , and the fruitful field is deemed a forest .

1 ^cThe wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
^dthe desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;
2 it shall blossom abundantly
and rejoice with joy and singing.
^eThe glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
the majesty of ^fCarmel and ^gSharon.
^hThey shall see the glory of the Lord,
the majesty of our God.

Isaiah 41:19

19 ⁱI will put in the wilderness the cedar,
the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.
I will set in the desert ^jthe cypress,
the plane and the pine together,

Isaiah 49:5-6

5 ^kAnd now the Lord says,
he ^lwho formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for ^mI am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
ⁿI will make you ^oas a light for the nations,
that ^pmy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

Isaiah 55:13

13 ^qInstead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the Lord,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

Isaiah 65:12-16

12 I will destine you to the sword,
and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
^rbecause, when I called, you did not answer;
when I spoke, you did not listen,
^sbut you did what was evil in my eyes
and chose what I did not delight in.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, ^tmy servants shall eat,
but you shall be hungry;
behold, my servants shall drink,
but you shall be thirsty;
behold, my servants shall rejoice,
but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, ^umy servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
but you shall cry out for pain of heart
and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name to ^vmy chosen ^wfor a curse,
and the Lord God will put you to death,
but his servants ^xhe will call by another name,
16 so that he who ^yblesses himself in the land
shall bless himself by ^zthe God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
shall swear by ^aathe God of truth;
^abbecause the former troubles are forgotten
and are hidden from my eyes.

Hosea 1:9-10

9 And the Lord said, ^ac“Call his name Not My People, ^{▼▼Hebrew Lo-ammi, which means not my people} for ^aeyou are not my people, and I am not your God.” ^{▼▼Hebrew I am not yours}

10 ^{▼▼Ch 2:1 in Hebrew} Yet ^ahthe number of the children of Israel shall be ^ailike the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. ^ajAnd ^akin the place where it was said to them, ^al“You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, ^am“Children ^{▼▼Or Sons} of ^aothe living God.”

Matthew 19:30

30 But ^apmany who are ^aqfirst will be last, and the last first.
