Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness.
look unto the rock from whence ye are hewn,
and to the hole of the pit from whence ye are digged.
Look unto Abraham, your father,
and unto Sarah, she that bare you;
for I called him alone, and blessed him.
For the Lord shall comfort Zion,
he will comfort all her waste places;
and he will make her wilderness like Eden,
and her desert like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness shall be found therein,
thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
