And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
The dry, cracked ground will become a pool of water, and the thirsty land will have springs bubbling up. In places where wild animals once lived, there will be grass growing with reeds and marsh plants.
God is promising that He will transform barren, lifeless places into flourishing areas full of life and abundance.
