35 ^(A)The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
    ^(B)the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;

^19 (A)Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
^(B)I will make a way in the wilderness
    ^(C)and rivers in the desert.

³ For the Lord ^(A)comforts Zion;
    he comforts all her waste places
and makes her wilderness like ^(B)Eden,
    her desert like ^(C)the garden of the Lord;
^(D)joy and gladness will be found in her,
    thanksgiving and the voice of song.

^13 (A)Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
    instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the Lord,
    an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

¹¹ For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
    and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,
so the Lord God will cause ^(A)righteousness and praise
    to sprout up before all the nations.
