33 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, (A)and the ruins shall be rebuilt. 34 The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. 35 So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of (B)Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ 36 Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. (C)I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”

Isaiah 49:6-8
New King James Version
6 Indeed He says,
‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also give You as a (A)light to the Gentiles,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
7 Thus says the Lord,
The Redeemer of Israel, [a]their Holy One,
(B)To Him [b]whom man despises,
To Him whom the nation abhors,
To the Servant of rulers:
(C)“Kings shall see and arise,
Princes also shall worship,
Because of the Lord who is faithful,
The Holy One of Israel;
And He has chosen You.”
8 Thus says the Lord:
“In an (D)acceptable[c] time I have heard You,
And in the day of salvation I have helped You;
I will [d]preserve You (E)and give You
As a covenant to the people,
To restore the earth,
To cause them to inherit the desolate [e]heritages;
