Isaiah 41:19

God Helps Israel

¹⁸ I will open rivers on the barren heights,
and springs in the middle of the plains.
I will turn the desert into a pool of water
and dry land into springs of water.
¹⁹ I will plant cedars in the desert,
acacias, myrtles, and olive trees.
I will put juniper trees in the desert,
elms and cypress trees together,
²⁰ so that all may see and know,
consider and understand,
that the hand of the Lord has done this,
the Holy One of Israel has created it.
