The Arabah (desert) will shout in exultation and blossom
Like the autumn crocus.

For the Lord will comfort Zion [in her captivity];
He will comfort all her ruins.

Let them shout joyfully from the tops of the mountains.

Rivers in the desert.

Jackals and ostriches,
Because I have given waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My people, My chosen.

“The people who survived the sword
Found grace in the wilderness [of exile]—
Israel (the Northern Kingdom), when it went to find its rest.”
