18 I will open up rivers on the barren heights
    and fountains in the midst of valleys.
I will turn the wilderness into a lake
    and the dry land into springs of water.
19 In the wilderness I will plant cedars,
    acacias, myrtles, and olive trees;
in the wasteland I will place cypress trees
    to grow side by side with plane trees and pine trees,
20 so that all may see and know,
    observe and understand,
that the hand of the Lord has done this,
    that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
