Isaiah 41:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Poor and helpless people look for water to drink,
    but there is none.
    They are so thirsty that their tongues are dry.
But I, the Lord, will answer their prayers.
    I, the God of Israel, will not leave them alone.
¹⁸ I will make rivers run over the dry hills.
    I will make springs of water in the valleys.
I will make pools of water in the desert.
    The dry land will become a place of streams.
¹⁹ Many trees will grow in the wilderness.
    Cedar, acacia, myrtle and olive trees will grow there.
In the dry valleys
    there will be pine, fir and cypress trees.^[a]
