32. Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water-springs into dry ground;
34. A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.
35. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into water-springs.
36. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37. And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39. Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40. He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41. Yet he setteth the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
