Isaiah 51:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ The Lord will comfort Zion
    and have pity on all her ruins.
He will make her deserts like Eden
    and her wastelands into the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness will resound in her,
    thanksgiving and the sound of music.
⁴ Listen attentively to me, my people,
    and pay heed to me, my nation.
For the law will issue forth from me,
    and my justice will serve as a light to the nations.
⁵ My justice will issue forth swiftly,
    my salvation will appear,
    and I will judge the nations with my arm.
The coastlands and the islands
    will place their hope in me
    and trust in my protection.
