^26 (A)Confirming the word of His servant
And ^[a]performing the purpose of His messengers.
It is I who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’
And of the ^(B)cities of Judah, ‘^(C)They shall be built.’
And I will raise up her ruins again.

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.
