¹⁸ I will open rivers on the barren heights,^(A)
and springs in the middle of the plains.
I will turn the desert into a pool
and dry land into springs.^(B)

¹⁵ I will lay waste mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up marshes.^(A)

³ For I will pour water on the thirsty land
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit^(A) on your descendants
and my blessing on your offspring.

²⁷ who says to the depths of the sea, “Be dry,”
and I will dry up your rivers;
