Yesaya 44:23
Konteks44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 1
shout out, you subterranean regions 2 of the earth.
O mountains, give a joyful shout;
you too, O forest and all your trees! 3
For the Lord protects 4 Jacob;
he reveals his splendor through Israel. 5
Yesaya 65:18
Konteks65:18 But be happy and rejoice forevermore
over what I am about to create!
For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem 6 to be a source of joy, 7
and her people to be a source of happiness. 8
