Isaiah 51:1-4
The Lord’s Comfort for Zion
1 a“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,you who seek the Lord:
look to the rock from which you were hewn,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.
2Look to Abraham your father
and to Sarah who bore you;
for bhe was but one when I called him,
that I might bless him and multiply him.
3For the Lord ccomforts Zion;
he comforts all her waste places
and makes her wilderness like dEden,
her desert like ethe garden of the Lord;
fjoy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and the voice of song.
