Isaiah 35:7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 The burning sands will become pools,
and the thirsty ground, springs of water;
The abode where jackals crouch
will be a marsh for the reed and papyrus.
Isaiah 42:15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 [a]I will lay waste mountains and hills,
all their undergrowth I will dry up;
I will turn the rivers into marshes,
and the marshes I will dry up.(A)
Isaiah 50:2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Why was no one there when I came?
Why did no one answer when I called?[a]
Is my hand too short to ransom?
Have I not the strength to deliver?
See, with my rebuke I dry up the sea,
I turn rivers into wilderness;
Their fish rot for lack of water,
and die of thirst.(A)
