¹² He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will ^[a]assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together ^(A)the dispersed of Judah
From the four ^[b]corners of the earth.

³ For the Lord will ^(A)comfort Zion,
He will comfort all her waste places;
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert ^(B)like the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
