Look to Abraham your father
    and to Sarah who bore you;
for (A)he was but one when I called him,
    that I might bless him and multiply him.
For the Lord (B)comforts Zion;
    he comforts all her waste places
and makes her wilderness like (C)Eden,
    her desert like (D)the garden of the Lord;
(E)joy and gladness will be found in her,
    thanksgiving and the voice of song.

(F)“Give attention to me, my people,
    and give ear to me, my nation;
(G)for a law[a] will go out from me,
    and I will set my justice for a light to the peoples.
