35 He turns the wilderness into reservoirs of water and dry ground into watersprings.
36 And there he makes 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 blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet he sets the poor on high from affliction and makes his families like a flock.
