Look at Abraham, your ancestor.
    Look at Sarah, who gave birth to your ancestors.
Abraham had no children when I called him.
    But I blessed him and gave him many descendants.
So the Lord will comfort Jerusalem.
    He will show mercy to those who live in her ruins.
He will change her deserts into a garden like Eden.
    He will make her empty lands like the garden of the Lord.
People there will be very happy.
    They will give thanks and sing songs.

“My people, listen to me.
    My nation, pay attention to me.
I will give the people my teachings.
    And my decisions will be like a light to all people.
