78:15 He broke open rocks in the wilderness,
and gave them enough water to fill the depths of the sea. 1
78:16 He caused streams to flow from the rock,
and made the water flow like rivers.
78:20 Yes, 2 he struck a rock and water flowed out,
streams gushed forth.
But can he also give us food?
Will he provide meat for his people?”
35:6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,
the mute tongue will shout for joy;
for water will flow 3 in the desert,
streams in the wilderness. 4
35:7 The dry soil will become a pool of water,
the parched ground springs of water.
Where jackals once lived and sprawled out,
grass, reeds, and papyrus will grow.
