JOY Isaiah 60:15

"Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations."

Although you have been forsaken and hated 
Isaiah 1:7-9  Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege. Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
Isaiah 6:11-12  Then I said, "For how long, LORD?" And he answered: "Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged, until the LORD has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken."
Isaiah 54:6-7  "The LORD will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit--a wife who married young, only to be rejected," says your God. "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back."

with no one traveling through 
Isaiah 33:8  The highways are deserted, no travelers are on the roads. The treaty is broken, its witnesses are despised, no one is respected.

I will make you the everlasting pride 
Isaiah 4:2  In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel.

and the joy of all generations 
Psalm 126:5  Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
Isaiah 65:18  "But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy."
