34. A fruitful[H6529] land[H776] into a salt[H4420] desert[H7451], For the wickedness of them that dwell therein[H3427].

35. He turneth[H7760] a wilderness[H4057] into a pool[H98] of water[H4325], And a dry[H6723] land[H776] into watersprings[H4325].

36. And there he maketh the hungry[H7457] to dwell[H3427], That they may prepare[H3559] a city[H5892] of habitation[H4186],

41. Yet setteth he the needy[H34] on high[H7682] from affliction[H6040], And maketh[H7760] him families[H4940] like a flock[H6629].

42. The upright[H3477] shall see[H7200] it[H8055], and be glad; And all iniquity[H5766] shall stop[H7092] her mouth[H6310].

43. Whoso is wise[H2450] will give heed[H8104] to these things[H995]; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses[H2617] of Jehovah[H3068].
