Isaiah 41:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹“I will put the cedar in the wilderness,
The acacia and the ^(A)myrtle and the ^[a]olive tree;
I will place the ^(B)juniper in the desert
Together with the box tree and the cypress,
²⁰That ^(C)they may see and recognize,
And consider and gain insight as well,
That the ^(D)hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.

²¹“^[b]Present your case,” the Lord says.
“Bring forward your strong arguments,”
The ^(E)King of Jacob says.
