Let the desert and dry region be happy; let the wilderness rejoice and bloom like a lily!

旷野和干旱之地必然欢喜；沙漠也必快乐；又像玫瑰开花，

旷野和干旱之地必然欢喜，沙漠也必快乐；又如玫瑰绽放，

曠野無水之區、將萌芽糵、若山慈菇、必有欣喜謳歌之聲、斯土所產、向榮競茂、較諸利巴嫩、加密、沙崙、尤為繁庶、我之上帝耶和華、榮光普照、有威可畏、人共觀瞻焉、

曠野與無水之地將欣喜、荒墟之區將歡樂、發榮如玫瑰花、玫瑰花或作百合花

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus,

The desert and the dry ground will be glad. The dry places will be full of joy. Flowers will grow there. Like the first crocus in the spring,

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;

Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days. The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses.

The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a wildflower.

The wilderness and the desert will rejoice, And the desert will shout for joy and blossom; Like the crocus

The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.

Certainly the LORD will console Zion; he will console all her ruins. He will make her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the Garden of the LORD. Happiness and joy will be restored to her, thanksgiving and the sound of music.

Indeed you will go out with joy; you will be led along in peace; the mountains and hills will give a joyful shout before you, and all the trees in the field will clap their hands.Evergreens will grow in place of thorn bushes, firs will grow in place of nettles; they will be a monument to the LORD, a permanent reminder that will remain.

They will say,“ This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; the ruined, desolate, and destroyed cities are now fortified and inhabited.”

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; I will be overjoyed because of my God. For he clothes me in garments of deliverance; he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication. I look like a bridegroom when he wears a turban as a priest would; I look like a bride when she puts on her jewelry.For just as the ground produces its crops and a garden yields its produce, so the sovereign LORD will cause deliverance to grow, and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations.

This desolation will continue until new life is poured out on us from heaven. Then the desert will become an orchard and the orchard will be considered a forest.Justice will settle down in the desert and fairness will live in the orchard.

Be happy for Jerusalem and rejoice with her, all you who love her! Share in her great joy, all you who have mourned over her!For you will nurse from her satisfying breasts and be nourished; you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts.For this is what the LORD says:“ Look, I am ready to extend to her prosperity that will flow like a river, the riches of nations will flow into her like a stream that floods its banks. You will nurse from her breast and be carried at her side; you will play on her knees.As a mother consoles a child, so I will console you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”When you see this, you will be happy, and you will be revived. The LORD will reveal his power to his servants and his anger to his enemies.

In unison give a joyful shout, O ruins of Jerusalem! For the LORD consoles his people; he protects Jerusalem.The LORD reveals his royal power in the sight of all the nations; the entire earth sees our God deliver.

The time is coming when Jacob will take root; Israel will blossom and grow branches. The produce will fill the surface of the world.

I will make streams flow down the slopes and produce springs in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water and the arid land into springs.I will make cedars, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees grow in the wilderness; I will make evergreens, firs, and cypresses grow together in the desert.

After these things I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a vast throng in heaven, saying,“ Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,because his judgments are true and just. For he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and has avenged the blood of his servants poured out by her own hands!”Then a second time the crowd shouted,“ Hallelujah!” The smoke rises from her forever and ever.The twenty- four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying:“ Amen! Hallelujah!”Then a voice came from the throne, saying:“ Praise our God all you his servants, and all you who fear him, both the small and the great!”Then I heard what sounded like the voice of a vast throng, like the roar of many waters and like loud crashes of thunder. They were shouting:“ Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the All- Powerful, reigns!Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

A voice cries out,“ In the wilderness clear a way for the LORD; construct in the desert a road for our God.

In just a very short time Lebanon will turn into an orchard, and the orchard will be considered a forest.

Mount Zion rejoices; the towns of Judah are happy, because of your acts of judgment.

Zion hears and rejoices, the towns of Judah are happy, because of your judgments, O LORD.

At that time the crops given by the LORD will bring admiration and honor; the produce of the land will be a source of pride and delight to those who remain in Israel.

For the fortified city is left alone; it is a deserted settlement and abandoned like the desert. Calves graze there; they lie down there and eat its branches bare.

I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily, he will send down his roots like a cedar of Lebanon.His young shoots will grow; his splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.
