12 For you shall go out in joy,
    and be led back in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
    shall burst into song,
    and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
    instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall be to the Lord for a memorial,
    for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

12 You will go out in joy(A)
    and be led forth in peace;(B)
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song(C) before you,
and all the trees(D) of the field
    will clap their hands.(E)
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers(F) the myrtle(G) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(H)
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.”
