Isaiah 41:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ “As for the poor, the needy, those seeking^[a] water—
    when there is none
        and their tongues are parched from thirst—
I, the Lord, will answer them.
    I, the God of Israel, won’t abandon them.
¹⁸ I’ll open up rivers on the barren heights,
    and fountains in the midst of the valleys.
I’ll turn the^[b] desert into a pool of water,
    and the parched land into springs of water.
¹⁹ I’ll put cedar trees in the wilderness,
    along with acacia, myrtle, and olive trees.
I’ll plant cypresses in the desert—
    box^[c] trees, and pine trees together—
