「信靠耶和華,以耶和華為可信靠的,那人有福了。他必像樹栽於水旁,沿河邊扎根,炎熱來到並不懼怕,葉子仍必青翠,在乾旱之年毫無罣慮,而且結果不止。」(耶17:7-8)
Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah And whose trust Jehovah is. And he will be like a tree transplanted beside water, Which sends out its roots by a stream, And will not be afraid when heat comes; For its leaves remain flourishing, And it will not be anxious in the year of drought And will not cease to bear fruit.(Jer.17:7-8)

「神阿,你是我的神,我切切的尋求你。在乾旱疲乏無水之地,我的魂渴想你,我的身切慕你。」(詩63:1)
O God, You are my God; I seek You diligently. My soul thirsts for You, My flesh faints in longing for You, In a dry and weary land without water.(Ps.63:1)

「當強暴人的氣息如同暴風直吹牆壁,你就作了貧窮人的保障,作了困乏人急難中的保障,作了躲暴風的避難所、避炎熱的陰涼處。」(賽25:4)
For You have been a stronghold to the weak, A stronghold to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of those who terrify is like a tempest against a wall.(Isa.25:4)

「那時瞎子的眼必睜開,聾子的耳必開通。那時瘸子必跳躍像鹿,啞吧的舌頭必歡呼;在曠野必有水發出,在沙漠必有河湧流。灼熱的沙地要變為水池,乾渴之地要變為水泉;在野狗居住躺臥之處,必有青草、蘆葦和蒲草。」(賽35:5-7)
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped; Then the lame will leap like a hart, And the tongue of the dumb will give a ringing shout; For water will break forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert. And the desert mirage will become a pool, And the thirsty ground, springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, their resting place, There will be grass with reeds and rushes.(Isa.35:5-7)

「他們不再飢、不再渴,日頭和一切炎熱也必不傷害他們,因為寶座中的羔羊必牧養他們,領他們到生命水的泉;神也必從他們眼中擦去一切的眼淚。」(啟7:16-17)
They will not hunger any more, neither will they thirst any more, neither will the sun beat upon them, nor any heat; For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and guide them to springs of waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.(Re.7:16-17)
