He turns rivers into a desert, and streams of water into a dry land; |
|
107:33
He turnethºº
riversº
into a wilderness,º
and the waterspringsºº
into dry ground;º |
|
107:34
a fruitful land into saltness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it. |

|
107:38
He blessethºº
them also, so that they are multipliedºº
greatly;º
and sufferethºº
notº
their cattleº
to decrease.ºº |
|
107:39
Again they become few, and are brought low, by the pressure of evils and pain. |
|
107:39
Again, they are minishedºº

contemptº
uponº
princes,º

in the wilderness,º
[where there is] noº
way.º |
|
107:41
