Isaiah 12:1

“This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before His presence.

May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for salvation.

“Comfort, O comfort My people,” says your God.

“For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah Would not overflow the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be furious with you Nor will I rebuke you.

I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh; My soul will rejoice in my God, For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a headdress, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry; indeed we have sinned— We continued in them a long time— And shall we be saved?

“But be joyful and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for joy.

“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”

‘From them will come forth thanksgiving And the voice of those who celebrate; And I will multiply them, and they will not decrease; I will also honor them, and they will not be insignificant.

I will heal their turning away from Me; I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.

‘But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.

“Thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, gladness, and merry appointed feasts for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.’
