Isaiah 41:17-20

17 ^aWhen 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 ^bI will open rivers on the bare heights,
and fountains in the midst of the valleys.
^cI will make the wilderness a pool of water,
and the dry land springs of water.
19 ^dI will put in the wilderness the cedar,
the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.
I will set in the desert ^ethe cypress,
the plane and the pine together,
20 that they may see and know,
may consider and understand together,
that ^fthe hand of the Lord has done this,
the Holy One of Israel has created it.
