Parched

As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,

…to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?

I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.

The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.

…as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.

The parched ground will become a pool, the thirsty land springs of water. In the haunt where jackals once lay, there will be grass and reeds and papyrus.

The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

He will be like a shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.

Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.

Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
