And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.
For waters will break forth in the wilderness
And streams in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19-20
“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?

Rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 50:2
“Why, when I came, was there no man [to greet Me]?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?
Is My hand really so short that it cannot redeem [My servants]?
Or have I no power to rescue?
Listen carefully, with My rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers into a desert;
Their fish stink because there is no water
And die of thirst.
