Contemporary English Version

¹⁹I will fill the desert
    with all kinds of trees—
cedars, acacias, and myrtles;
olive and cypress trees;
    fir trees and pines.
²⁰Everyone will see this
    and know that I,
the holy Lord God of Israel,
    created it all.

the King of Israel!
Come argue your case with me.
