"The Lord shall comfort Zion: He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord." "The glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon." "Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called My Delight, and thy land Beulah. . . . As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee." Isaiah 66:23; 40:5; 61:11; 28:5; 51:3; 35:2; 62:4, 5, margin.

"Herren trøster Zion, trøster alle dets tomter, han gør dets ørk som Eden, dets ødemark som Herrens have." Libanons herlighed gives den, Karmels og Sarons pragt." "Du kaldes ej mer "den forladte" dit land "den ensomme"; nej "velbehag" kaldes du selv, og dit land kaldes "hustru" ..... Som brudgom glædes ved brud, så din Gud ved dig." Es. 66,23; 40,5; 61,11; 28,5; 51,3; 35,2; 62,4-5.
