12 Shouting, they shall mount the heights of Zion,
    they shall come streaming to the Lord’s blessings:
The grain, the wine, and the oil,
    flocks of sheep and cattle;
They themselves shall be like watered gardens,
    never again neglected.(A)
13 Then young women shall make merry and dance,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into joy,
    I will show them compassion and have them rejoice after their sorrows.
14 I will lavish choice portions on the priests,
    and my people shall be filled with my blessings—
    oracle of the Lord.

They will be like a well-watered garden,(F)
    and they will sorrow(G) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(H) into gladness;

    and my people will be filled with my bounty,(M)
