²⁶ who confirms the message of His servant
and fulfills the counsel of His messengers;
who says to Jerusalem, “She will be inhabited,”
and to the cities of Judah, “They will be rebuilt,”
and I will restore her ruins;

³ For the Lord will comfort Zion;^(A)
He will comfort all her waste places,
and He will make her wilderness like Eden,^(B)
and her desert like the garden of the Lord.^(C)
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and melodious song.
