God turned rivers into wasteland,springs of water into sunbaked mud;Luscious orchards became alkali flatsbecause of the evil of the people who lived there.Then he changed wasteland into fresh pools of water,arid earth into springs of water,Brought in the hungry and settled them there;they moved in—what a great place to live!They sowed the fields, they planted vineyards,they reaped a bountiful harvest.He blessed them and they prospered greatly;their herds of cattle never decreased.But abuse and evil and trouble declinedas he heaped scorn on princes and sent them away.He gave the poor a safe place to live,treated their clans like well-cared-for sheep.
