Context Reading
15Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth.You will thresh the mountains,and beat them small,and will make the hills like chaff. 16You will winnow them,and the wind will carry them away,and the whirlwind will scatter them.You will rejoice in Yahweh.You will glory in the Holy One of Israel. 17The poor and needy seek water, and there is none.Their tongue fails for thirst.I, Yahweh, will answer them.I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. 18I will open rivers on the bare heights,and springs in the middle of the valleys.I will make the wilderness a pool of water,and the dry land springs of water. 19I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness.I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
