6 I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and ^abriers and thorns shall grow up;
^bI will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.

Isaiah 35:6-7

6 ^cthen shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
^dFor waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
7 ^ethe burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of ^fjackals, where they lie down,
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

Isaiah 41:13-19

13 For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”
14 Fear not, you ^gworm Jacob,
you men of Israel!
I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;
your ^hRedeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 ⁱBehold, I make of you a threshing sledge,
new, sharp, and having teeth;
you shall thresh ^jthe mountains and crush them,
and you shall make the hills like chaff;
16 ^kyou shall winnow them, and ^lthe wind shall carry them away,
and the tempest shall scatter them.
^mAnd you shall rejoice in the Lord;
in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory.
17 ⁿWhen 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 ^oI will open rivers on the bare heights,
and fountains in the midst of the valleys.
^pI will make the wilderness a pool of water,
and the dry land springs of water.
19 ^qI will put in the wilderness the cedar,
the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.
I will set in the desert ^rthe cypress,
the plane and the pine together,

Isaiah 55:10-11

10 ^s“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
^tgiving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but ^uit shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 58:11

11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be ^vlike a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
