Isaiah 41:17-23 The poor and the needy seeking water, and none; their tongue failing in thirst, I Jehovah will answer them; the God of Israel, I will not forsake them.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ The poor and the needy seeking water, and none; their tongue failing in thirst, I Jehovah will answer them; the God of Israel, I will not forsake them. ¹⁸ I will open rivers upon naked hills, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will set the desert for a pool of water, and the dry land for goings forth of water. ¹⁹ I will give in the desert the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the tree of oil; I will set in the sterile region the the elm and the box tree together. ²⁰ So that they shall see and know and attend, and consider together that the hand of Jehovah did this, and the Holy One of Israel created it ²¹ Bring near your cause, Will say Jehovah; draw near your strong defences, will the king of Jacob say: ²² They shall draw near and announce to us what shall happen: shewed they the former things, what they were, and we will set our heart, and we shall know their latter state; or did we hear things coming? ²³ Announce the things coming hereafter, and we shall know that ye are God: also will ye do good or will ye do evil, and we shall look around for help and see together.
