A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein (107:34) He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings (107:35) And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation (107:36) And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase (107:37) He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease (107:38) Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow (107:39) He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way (107:40) Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock (107:41) The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth (107:42) Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord
(107:43)
