it will burst into bloom;
    it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.(A)
The glory of Lebanon(B) will be given to it,
    the splendor of Carmel(C) and Sharon;(D)
they will see the glory(E) of the Lord,
    the splendor of our God.(F)

Strengthen the feeble hands,
    steady the knees(G) that give way;
say(H) to those with fearful hearts,(I)
    “Be strong, do not fear;(J)
your God will come,(K)
    he will come with vengeance;(L)
with divine retribution
    he will come to save(M) you.”
