16. You will toss them in the air;the wind will carry them off,and they will be scattered by the storm.Then you will be happy because I am your God;you will praise me, the holy God of Israel.
17. “When my people in their need look for water,when their throats are dry with thirst,then I, the Lord, will answer their prayer;I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them.
18. I will make rivers flow among barren hillsand springs of water run in the valleys.I will turn the desert into pools of waterand the dry land into flowing springs.
19. I 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.
