Isaiah 41:14–20

¹⁴“Fear not, you ^qworm Jacob,

You men of Israel!

I will help you,” says the Lord

And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵“Behold, ^rI will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth;

You shall thresh the mountains and beat them small,

And make the hills like chaff.

¹⁶You shall ^swinnow them, the wind shall carry them away,

And the whirlwind shall scatter them;

You shall rejoice in the Lord,

And ^tglory in the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁷“The poor and needy seek water, but there is none,

Their tongues fail for thirst.

I, the Lord, will hear them;

I, the God of Israel, will not ^uforsake them.

¹⁸I will open ^vrivers in desolate heights,

And fountains in the midst of the valleys;

I will make the ^wwilderness a pool of water,

And the dry land springs of water.

¹⁹I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree,

The myrtle and the oil tree;

I will set in the ^xdesert the cypress tree and the pine

And the box tree together,

^20yThat they may see and know,

And consider and understand together,

That the hand of the Lord has done this,

And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
