Isaiah 41:17

And a high wind will scatter them;
But you will rejoice in the Lord,
You will glory in the Holy One of Israel. ¹⁷

Their tongues are parched with thirst.
I, the Lord, will answer them Myself;
I, the God of Israel, will not neglect them.
¹⁸
“I will open rivers on the barren heights
And springs in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a reed-pool of water
And the dry land springs of water.
