Isaiah - Chapter 35

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus,   1

it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.   2

Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way;   3

say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."   4

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.   5

Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.   6

The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.   7

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.   8

No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there,   9

and the ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.   10
