Compare all
16 You shall awinnow them, the wind shall carry them away,
And the whirlwind shall scatter them;
You shall rejoice in the Lord,
Andb glory in the Holy One of Israel. 
17 “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none,
Their tongues fail for thirst.
I, the Lord, will hear them;
I, the God of Israel, will not aforsake them. 
18 I will open arivers in desolate heights,
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the bwilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water. 
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree,
The myrtle and the oil tree;
I will set in the adesert the cypress tree and the pine
And the box tree together, 
20 aThat they may see and know,
And consider and understand together,
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
