⁴     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

⁴ I will build you up again,
    and you, Virgin^(A) Israel, will be rebuilt.^(B)
Again you will take up your timbrels^(C)
    and go out to dance^(D) with the joyful.^(E)

¹³ Then young women will dance and be glad,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning^(A) into gladness;
    I will give them comfort^(B) and joy^(C) instead of sorrow.
