Yahweh Comforts Zion

51 “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
    who seek Yahweh.
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
    and to the excavation of the pit from which you were quarried.
Look to Abraham your father,
    and to Sarah; she brought you forth.
For I called him alone,[a]
    but[b] I blessed him and made him numerous.”
For Yahweh will comfort Zion;
    he will comfort all its sites of ruins.
And he will make[c] its wilderness like Eden,
    and its desert like the garden of Yahweh.
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
    thanksgiving and the sound[d] of song.
