³ Indeed , the Lord will comfort Zion ; He will comfort all her waste places . And her wilderness He will make like Eden , And her desert like the garden of the Lord ; Joy and gladness will be found in her, Thanksgiving and sound of a melody .

³ The Lord will comfort Israel again and have pity on her ruins. Her desert will blossom like Eden, her barren wilderness like the garden of the Lord . Joy and gladness will be found there. Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air.
