3  For the Lord shall ^acomfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

  1  For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet ^cchoose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
