The Lord Comforts Zion
1 “Listen to Me, ayou who follow after righteousness,
You who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
You who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
2 aLook to Abraham your father,
And to Sarah who bore you;
bFor I called him alone,
And cblessed him and increased him.”
And to Sarah who bore you;
bFor I called him alone,
And cblessed him and increased him.”
3 For the Lord will acomfort Zion,
He will comfort all her waste places;
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert blike the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
He will comfort all her waste places;

Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
4 “Listen to Me, My people;
And give ear to Me, O My nation:
aFor law will proceed from Me,
And I will make My justice rest
bAs a light of the peoples.
And give ear to Me, O My nation:
aFor law will proceed from Me,
