The trees of the Lord drink their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,

The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree;
I will place the juniper in the desert
Together with the box tree and the cypress,


“I will put the cedar in the wilderness,
The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree;
I will place the juniper in the desert
Together with the box tree and the cypress,

The wilderness and the desert will be glad,
And the Arabah will rejoice and blossom;
Like the crocus


“I will put the cedar in the wilderness,
The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree;
I will place the juniper in the desert
Together with the box tree and the cypress,

The juniper, the box tree and the cypress together,

You will raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

He will comfort all her waste places.
And her wilderness He will make like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.

The wilderness and the desert will be glad,
And the Arabah will rejoice and blossom;
Like the crocus

Confirming the word of His servant
And performing the purpose of His messengers.

And of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built.’
And I will raise up her ruins again.

“For your waste and desolate places and your destroyed land—
Surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants,
And those who swallowed you will be far away.

Break forth, shout joyfully together,
You waste places of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.

Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins,
They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be rebuilt.

Where the birds build their nests,
And the stork, whose home is the fir trees.
