Isaiah 35

Isaiah 35
1¶ The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the lily.
2It shall blossom abundantly and shall also praise and sing for joy; the honour of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the beauty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord and the beauty of our God.
3Comfort ye the tired hands and strengthen the knees that tremble.
4Say to those that are of a fearful heart, Be comforted, fear not; behold, your God comes with vengeance, with recompense; God himself will come and save you.
5¶ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6Then the lame one shall leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall praise; for waters shall be dug in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7The parched ground shall become a pool and the thirsty land springs of water; in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called The Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; and for those in it there shall be someone to go with them, in such a manner that the foolish shall not err therein.
9No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, nor shall any be found there so that the redeemed can walk there:
10And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall retain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Isaiah 35
35
The Road of Holiness
1The desert will rejoice,
and flowers will bloom in the wilderness.
2The desert will sing and shout for joy;
it will be as beautiful as the Lebanon Mountains
and as fertile as the fields of Carmel and Sharon.
Everyone will see the LORD's splendour,
see his greatness and power.

Heb 12.12
Give strength to hands that are tired
and to knees that tremble with weakness.
4Tell everyone who is discouraged,
“Be strong and don't be afraid!
God is coming to your rescue,
coming to punish your enemies.”

Mt 11.5; Lk 7.22 The blind will be able to see,
and the deaf will hear.
6The lame will leap and dance,
and those who cannot speak will shout for joy.
Streams of water will flow through the desert;
7the burning sand will become a lake,
and dry land will be filled with springs.
Where jackals used to live,
marsh grass and reeds will grow.
8There will be a highway there,
called “The Road of Holiness”.
No sinner will ever travel that road;
no fools will mislead those who follow it.#35.8 Probable text no fools… follow it; Hebrew unclear.
9No lions will be there;
no fierce animals will pass that way.
Those whom the LORD has rescued
will travel home by that road.
10They will reach Jerusalem with gladness,
singing and shouting for joy.
They will be happy for ever,
for ever free from sorrow and grief.
