33He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,33He turned streams into a desert, springs of water into arid land,
34a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.34and a fruitful land into a barren place, because of the sin of its inhabitants.
35He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.35As for his people, he turned a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water.
