³ Indeed, ^(A)the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her ^(B)ruins.
And He will make her ^(C)wilderness like ^(D)Eden,
And her desert like the ^(E)garden of the Lord.
^(F)Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and the sound of a melody.

⁸ The ^(A)cedars in ^(B)God’s garden ^[a]could not match it;
The junipers ^[b]could not compare with its branches,
And the plane trees ^[c]could not match its branches.
No tree in ^(C)God’s garden ^[d]could compare with it in its beauty.
⁹ I made it beautiful with the multitude of its branches,
And all the trees of ^(D)Eden, which were in the ^(E)garden of God, were jealous of it.
