NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ »The poor and needy search for water, but there is none! Their tongues are parched with thirst. But I Jehovah will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. ¹⁸ »I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. ¹⁹ »I will put the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive in the desert. I will set pines in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together. ²⁰ »People may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand (power) of Jehovah has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
