³ For the Lord will comfort Zion;
    he will comfort all her waste places
and will make her wilderness like Eden,
    her desert like the garden of the Lord;
joy and gladness will be found in her,
    thanksgiving and the voice of song.^(A)

⁹ I made it beautiful
    with its mass of branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden
    that were in the garden of God.
