21 “Set up road signs;
    put up guideposts.(A)
Take note of the highway,(B)
    the road that you take.
Return,(C) Virgin(D) Israel,
    return to your towns.
22 How long will you wander,(E)
    unfaithful(F) Daughter Israel?
The Lord will create a new thing(G) on earth—
    the woman will return to[a](H) the man.”

26 At this I awoke(Q) and looked around. My sleep had been pleasant to me.
