  1. 65:4 Or house, your holy temple

12 They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;(A)
they will be radiant with joy(B)
because of the Lord’s goodness,
because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil,(C)
and because of the young of the flocks and herds.
Their life will be like an irrigated garden,
and they will no longer grow weak from hunger.
13 Then the young women will rejoice with dancing,
while young and old men rejoice together.
I will turn their mourning into joy,(D)
give them consolation,
and bring happiness out of grief.
14 I will refresh the priests with an abundance,[a](E)
and my people will be satisfied with my goodness.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
