When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 41 of Isaiah. Israel’s enemies will be reduced to nothing, while Jacob receives help in his weakness. Images of rivers on high places and trees planted in the wilderness portray a transformation produced by God. The second half contrasts these promises with the inability of idols to announce future events.

Die Elenden und Armen suchen Wasser, und ist nichts da; ihre Zunge verdorrt vor Durst. Aber ich, der HERR, will sie erhören; ich, der Gott Israels, will sie nicht verlassen.
Los afligidos y menesterosos buscan las aguas, que no hay; secose de sed su lengua; yo Jehová los oiré, yo el Dios de Israel no los desampararé.
Los pobres y los necesitados buscan agua, pero no la hay; su lengua está reseca de sed. Yo, Jehová, les responderé; yo, el Dios de Israel, no los abandonaré.
Les malheureux et les indigents cherchent de l'eau, et il n'y en a point; Leur langue est desséchée par la soif. Moi, l'Eternel, je les exaucerai; Moi, le Dieu d'Israël, je ne les abandonnerai pas.
Quant’è a’ poveri e bisognosi, che cercano dell’acque, e non ne trovano alcune; la cui lingua spasima di sete; io, il Signore, li esaudirò; io, l’Iddio d’Israele, non li abbandonerà.
Os aflitos e necessitados buscam águas, e não há, e a sua língua se seca de sede; eu o SENHOR os ouvirei, eu, o Deus de Israel não os desampararei.
困苦貧窮人尋找水,卻尋不著; 他們因口渴,舌頭乾燥。 我-耶和華必應允他們, 我─ 以色列 的上帝必不離棄他們。
