33. God changed rivers into desert,springs of water into thirsty ground,
34. Fruitful land into a salty waste,because of the wickedness of its people.
35. He changed the desert into pools of water,arid land into springs of water,
36. And settled the hungry there;they built a city to live in.
37. They sowed fields and planted vineyards,brought in an abundant harvest.
38. God blessed them, and they increased greatly,and their livestock did not decrease.
39. But he poured out contempt on princes,made them wander trackless wastes,
40. Where they were diminished and brought lowthrough misery and cruel oppression.
41. While he released the poor man from affliction,and increased their families like flocks.
42. The upright saw this and rejoiced;all wickedness shut its mouth.
