Isaiah 41:17 in context

Isaiah 41:14–20

14

Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob,

and you men of Israel.

I will help you,” says the LORD.

“Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

15

Behold, 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.

16

You will winnow them,

and the wind will carry them away,

and the whirlwind will scatter them.

You will rejoice in the LORD.

You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

Selected verse

The poor and needy seek water, and there is none.

Their tongue fails for thirst.

I, the LORD, will answer them.

I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

18

I 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.

19

I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness.

I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;

20

that they may see, know, consider, and understand together,

that the LORD’s hand has done this,

and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
