Isaiah 41:18

⁶Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. ⁷The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.

³⁵He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.

¹¹and the LORD will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.

²⁵There will be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

¹⁷for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

¹⁹Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it?

Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist. ⁵Afterward he measured one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through.

⁶He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.

⁷Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. ⁸Then he said to me, “These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah.
