He will bring comfort to all her ruins,+

And he will make her wilderness like Eʹden+

And her desert plain like the garden of Jehovah.+

Exultation and rejoicing will be found in her,

Thanksgiving and melodious song.+

“Here I am gathering the captives of the tents of Jacob,+

And I will have pity for his tabernacles.

The city will be rebuilt on her mound,+

And the fortified tower will stand on its rightful site.

I will multiply them, and they will not be few;+

I will make them numerous,*

And they will not be insignificant.+

14 I will gather back the captives of my people Israel,+

And they will rebuild the desolated cities and inhabit them;+

They will plant vineyards and drink their wine,+

And make gardens and eat their fruit.’+
