³⁵ For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

²⁶ that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof;

¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

¹³ I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

¹ And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

¹⁷ But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

³⁵ And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.

³⁶ Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I, Jehovah, have builded the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.

¹⁰ Thus saith Jehovah: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast,

¹¹ the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to Jehovah of hosts, for Jehovah is good, for his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever; `and of them' that bring `sacrifices of' thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith Jehovah.

³² What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge.

¹² Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.

¹³ For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.

¹⁶ For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.

¹³ Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.

¹¹ Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

¹² Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;

¹³ Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
