8 Further, Jehovah* God planted a garden in Eʹden,*+ toward the east,* and there he put the man whom he had formed.+

10 So Lot raised his eyes and saw the whole District* of the Jordan,+ that all of it was a well-watered region before Jehovah brought Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah to ruin, like the garden* of Jehovah,+ like the land of Egypt as far as Zoʹar.*+

3 For Jehovah will certainly comfort Zion.+ He will for certain comfort all her devastated places,+ and he will make her wilderness like Eʹden+ and her desert plain like the garden* of Jehovah.+ Exultation and rejoicing themselves will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.+
