29:17 In just a very short time
Lebanon will turn into an orchard,
and the orchard will be considered a forest.
32:15 This desolation will continue until new life is poured out on us from heaven.
Then the desert will become an orchard
and the orchard will be considered a forest.
32:16 Justice will settle down in the desert
and fairness will live in the orchard.
40:3 A voice cries out,
“In the wilderness clear a way for the Lord;
construct in the desert a road for our God.
51:3 Certainly the Lord will console Zion;
he will console all her ruins.
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
her desert like the Garden of the Lord.
Happiness and joy will be restored to
thanksgiving and the sound of music.
52:9 In unison give a joyful shout,
O ruins of Jerusalem!
For the Lord consoles his people;
he protects
52:10 The Lord reveals
in the sight of all the nations;
the entire
our God deliver.
