35 The ^(A)wilderness and the desert will be glad,
And the ^[a](B)Arabah will rejoice and blossom;
Like the crocus

¹⁹ “Behold, I will do something ^(A)new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even ^(B)make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.

³ Indeed, ^(A)the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her ^(B)waste places.
And her ^(C)wilderness He will make like ^(D)Eden,
And her desert like the ^(E)garden of the Lord;
^(F)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.
