^26 (A)Confirming the word of His servant
And ^[a]carrying out the purpose of His messengers.
It is I who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’
And of the ^(B)cities of Judah, ‘^(C)They shall be built.’
And I will raise her ruins again.

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.
