Some of you wandered for years in the desert, looking but not finding a good place to live, Half-starved and parched with thirst, staggering and stumbling, on the brink of exhaustion. Then, in your desperate condition, you called out to GOD. He got you out in the nick of time; He put your feet on a wonderful road that took you straight to a good place to live. So thank GOD for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves. He poured great drafts of water down parched throats; the starved and hungry got plenty to eat.

GOD turned rivers into wasteland, springs of water into sunbaked mud; Luscious orchards became alkali flats because 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 declined as 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.

¶They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city.

He pours contempt upon noblemen And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland.

¶They wandered in the wilderness in a [solitary] desert region; And did not find a way to an inhabited city.

He pours contempt on princes And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland.

They wandered through the wilderness on a desert road; they found no city in which to live.

He would pour contempt upon princes, and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road.
