11 I will make all my mountains become roads.
    I will build good roads for my people to travel on.
12 Look! People will return to the land
    from places that are far away.
Yes, some of them will come from the north and from the west.
    And some will come from the land of Sinim.’[a]
13 Shout with joy, everything in the sky!
    Be happy, everything on the earth!
    Sing loudly, you mountains!
Be happy, because the Lord comforts his people.
    He will be kind to his people who have trouble and pain.
