He turns rivers into desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,

他使江河变为旷野，叫水泉变为干渴之地，

他使江河变为旷野，叫水泉变为干涸之地，

他使江河变为旷野，叫水泉变为干涸之地，

祂使江河变成荒漠，水泉变成干地，

他使江河变为旷野，使水泉变为干旱无水之地。

神使河流成为旷野，水源成为干涸之地，

他使江河變為曠野，叫水泉變為乾渴之地，

他使江河變為曠野，叫水泉變為乾涸之地，

他使江河變為曠野，叫水泉變為乾涸之地，

祂使江河變成荒漠，水泉變成乾地，

他使江河變為曠野，使水泉變為乾旱無水之地。

他使江河變為曠野，叫水源之處變為乾渴之地；

神使河流成為曠野，水源成為乾涸之地，

彼變江河為曠野、源泉為燥土、

主因人民蹈於愆尤、使水區為沙漠、江河為槁壤、膏腴之土、成斥鹵之地兮、

主使江河之地、變為沙漠、泉源之處、變為旱地、

頑民怙惡。主心不悅。變川為沙。泉源枯竭。

He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,

He turned rivers into a desert. He turned flowing springs into thirsty ground.

He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,

He changes rivers into deserts, and springs of water into dry, thirsty land.

He turns rivers into desert, springs into thirsty ground,

He turns rivers into a wilderness, And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground;

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

He turned streams into a desert, springs of water into arid land,

He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,

Why was no one there when I came? Why was there no one to answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem? Or do I have no power to deliver? Look, I dry up the sea by My rebuke; I turn the rivers into a wilderness; their fish rot because of lack of water and die of thirst.

I will lay waste mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn rivers into islands and dry up marshes.

I will make the streams dry and sell the land into the hands of evil men. I will bring desolation on the land and everything in it by the hands of foreigners. I, Yahweh, have spoken.

Now Elijah the Tishbite, from the Gilead settlers, said to Ahab,“ As the Lord God of Israel lives, I stand before Him, and there will be no dew or rain during these years except by my command!”Then a revelation from the Lord came to him:“ Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself at the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.You are to drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there.”So he did what the Lord commanded. Elijah left and lived by the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.The ravens kept bringing him bread and meat in the morning and in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.After a while, the wadi dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

Their nobles send their servants for water. They go to the cisterns; they find no water; their containers return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.

Ahab said to Obadiah,“ Go throughout the land to every spring of water and to every wadi. Perhaps we’ll find grass so we can keep the horses and mules alive and not have to destroy any cattle.”

The waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be parched and dry.The channels will stink; they will dwindle, and Egypt’s canals will be parched. Reed and rush will die.The reeds by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the cultivated areas of the Nile will wither, blow away, and vanish.Then the fishermen will mourn. All those who cast hooks into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the water will shrivel up.Those who work with flax will be dismayed; the combers and weavers will turn pale.Egypt’s weavers will be dejected; all her wage earners will be demoralized.

He rebukes the sea so that it dries up, and He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither; even the flower of Lebanon withers.

You opened up springs and streams; You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

He will also stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria; He will make Nineveh a desolate ruin, dry as the desert.

Therefore, as I live— this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel— Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah— a place overgrown with weeds, a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland. The remnant of My people will plunder them; the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.

And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be like Sodom and Gomorrah when God overthrew them.It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; a nomad will not pitch his tent there, and shepherds will not let their flocks rest there.But desert creatures will lie down there, and owls will fill the houses. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will leap about.

I also withheld the rain from you while there were still three months until harvest. I sent rain on one city but no rain on another. One field received rain while a field with no rain withered.Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water but were not satisfied, yet you did not return to Me. This is the Lord’s declaration.

who says to the depths of the sea,“ Be dry,” and I will dry up your rivers;

Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch, her soil into sulfur; her land will become burning pitch.It will never go out— day or night. Its smoke will go up forever. It will be desolate, from generation to generation; no one will pass through it forever and ever.

Even the wild animals cry out to You, for the river beds are dried up, and fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness.
