² 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.”
³ 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.
⁴ “Listen attentively to me, my people,
    and my nation, listen to me!
For a teaching will go out from me,
    and I will cause my justice to rest for a light to the peoples.
