Isaiah Chapter 35

1The desert and the dry place will take delight in them,

And the arid tract will rejoice

And blossom like a lily.

2It will blossom beautifully and rejoice;

It will rejoice and exult all the more.

The glory of Lebanon will be given to it

– The splendour of Carmel and Sharon.

They will see the glory of the Lord

– The splendour of our God.

3Strengthen weak hands,

And embolden faltering knees.

4Say to those of a panic-stricken heart,

“Be strong and do not fear.

Behold, your God will come with vengeance

With God's retribution.

He will come and save you.”

5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,

And opened will be the ears of the deaf.

6Then the lame will leap like the deer,

And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy,

At a time when water will be laid open in the desert,

As will streams in the arid tracts.

7And the parched ground will become a lake,

And the thirsty land springs of water.

In the jackals' den where they lie down

Will be pasture with reeds and papyrus.

8And there will be a highway and a road there,

And it will be called the holy road.

No-one unclean will pass over it,

And it will be for him who walks in the way,

And the impious will not stray onto it.

9There will not be any lions there,

And rapacious animals will not come up to it,

Nor be found there,

But the redeemed will walk on it.

10And the Lord's redeemed will return

And come to Zion in jubilation,

With age-abiding joy on their heads.

They will obtain happiness and joy,

Whereas sorrow and sighing will flee.
