10 “Thus says the Lord: ‘Again there shall be heard in this place—(A)of which you say, “It is desolate, without man and without beast”—in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, 11 the (B)voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say:

(C)“Praise the Lord of hosts,
For the Lord is good,
For His mercy endures forever”—
