Isaiah 51:2-4
Good News Translation

2 Think of your ancestor, Abraham,
    and of Sarah, from whom you are descended.
When I called Abraham, he was childless,
    but I blessed him and gave him children;
    I made his descendants numerous.

3 “I will show compassion to Jerusalem,
    to all who live in her ruins.
Though her land is a desert, I will make it a garden,
    like the garden I planted in Eden.
Joy and gladness will be there,
    and songs of praise and thanks to me.

4 “Listen to me, my people,
    listen to what I say:
I give my teaching to the nations;
    my laws will bring them light.
