1. Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord; look unto the rock from which ye are hewn and to the hole of the pit from which ye are dug.
2. Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sarah that bore you; for I called him alone and blessed him and multiplied him.
3. For the Lord shall surely 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; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of singing.
4. Hearken unto me, my people, and give ear unto me, O my nation: for the law shall proceed from me, and I will uncover my judgment for a light of the peoples.
