18I will make rivers flow among barren hills

and springs of water run in the valleys.

I will turn the desert into pools of water

and the dry land into flowing springs.

19I will make cedars grow in the desert,

and acacias and myrtles and olive trees.

Forests will grow in barren land,

forests of pine and juniper and cypress.

20People will see this and know

that I, the Lord, have done it.

They will come to understand

that Israel’s holy God has made it happen.”

and the dry land springs of water.

I will put in the wilderness the cedar,

the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.

that they may see and know,

may consider and understand together,

that the hand of the Lord has done this,

the Holy One of Israel has created it.

so that they may see and know,

and take to heart and understand together

that the hand of Yahweh has done this,

and the holy one of Israel has created it.”

That the hand of the Lord hath done this,

And the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
