³ The Lord will surely comfort^(A) Zion^(B)
    and will look with compassion on all her ruins;^(C)
he will make her deserts like Eden,^(D)
    her wastelands^(E) like the garden of the Lord.
Joy and gladness^(F) will be found in her,
    thanksgiving^(G) and the sound of singing.

⁴ You lie on beds adorned with ivory
    and lounge on your couches.^(A)
You dine on choice lambs
    and fattened calves.^(B)
5 You strum away on your harps^(C) like David
    and improvise on musical instruments.^(D)
6 You drink wine^(E) by the bowlful
    and use the finest lotions,
    but you do not grieve^(F) over the ruin of Joseph.^(G)
7 Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;^(H)
    your feasting and lounging will end.^(I)
