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.

⁹ I made it beautiful with the multitude of its branches,
And all the trees of ^(A)Eden, which were in the ^(B)garden of God, were jealous of it.

³ A ^(A)fire consumes before them,
And behind them a flame devours.
The land is ^(B)like the Garden of Eden before them,
But a ^(C)desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.
