12 “So you will go out with joy [C returning from the Babylonian exile]
    and be led out in peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
    and all the trees in the fields will clap their hands [C the earth rejoices at God’s restoration of creation].
13 ·Large cypress [or Juniper; Evergreen] trees will grow where thornbushes were.
    Myrtle trees will grow where ·weeds [briers] were.
These things will be ·a reminder of the Lord’s promise [or for the Lord’s honor/renown; L to the Lord for a name],
    ·and this reminder will never be destroyed [L for an eternal sign that will not be cut off].”
