16:10 Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards,
and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts;
no one treads out juice in the wine vats 1 –
I have brought the joyful shouts to an end. 2
35:10 those whom the Lord has ransomed will return that way. 3
They will enter Zion with a happy shout.
Unending joy will crown them, 4
happiness and joy will overwhelm 5 them;
grief and suffering will disappear. 6
51:11 Those whom the Lord has ransomed will return;
they will enter Zion with a happy shout.
Unending joy will crown them, 7
happiness and joy will overwhelm 8 them;
grief and suffering will disappear. 9
65:14 Look, my servants will shout for joy as happiness fills their hearts! 10
But you will cry out as sorrow fills your hearts; 11
you will wail because your spirits will be crushed. 12
65:18 But be happy and rejoice forevermore
over what I am about to create!
For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem 13 to be a source of joy, 14
and her people to be a source of happiness. 15
