35 The ^(A)wilderness and the desert will rejoice,
And the ^[a](B)desert will shout for joy and blossom;
Like the crocus

¹⁹ Behold, I am going to do something ^(A)new,
Now it will spring up;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even ^(B)make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.

³ Indeed, ^(A)the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her ^(B)ruins.
And He will make her ^(C)wilderness like ^(D)Eden,
And her desert like the ^(E)garden of the Lord.
^(F)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and the sound of a melody.
