Well saith the Lord to prevent this when the poor and needy seek Water i.e. seek soul-refreshment as well as Victory over Enemies and they finde none and their Tongue faileth for thirst intimating the depth of want and extremity of thirst yet then I the Lord will hear them i.e. when they are hardly able to cry unto me but are even ready to give up then I will hear the very groans of their heart and I the God of Israel will not forsake them though they be brought into that condition that they can hardly speak because their Tongue faileth yet I will not forsake them 18. But I will open the Rivers in high places they shall have abundance and they shall have it in the most unlikely way Rivers in the high places and Fountains in the Valleys all as it were by contraries yea I will make the Wilderness and the dry Land pools and springs of water which is even a Miracle which I will rather work then those poor souls shall not be satisfied 19. I will plant in the Wilderness the Cedar and the Myrtle Tree I will set in the Desart the Fir Tree the Pine and the Box Tree things very rare and wonderful 20.
