33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; |
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. |
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; |
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. |
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. |
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. |
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. |
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. |
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. |
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. |
