Isaiah 35
35
The Future Glory of Zion
1The #Is. 32:15; 55:12wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,
And the #Is. 41:19; 51:3desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
2#Is. 32:15It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,
Even with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the #Is. 40:5glory of the Lord,
The excellency of our God.
3#Job 4:3, 4; Heb. 12:12Strengthen the weak hands,
And make firm the feeble knees.
4Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
“Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with #Is. 34:8vengeance,
With the recompense of God;
He will come and #Ps. 145:19; Is. 33:22save you.”
5Then the #Is. 29:18; Matt. 9:27; John 9:6, 7eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And #(Matt. 11:5)the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6Then the #Matt. 11:5; 15:30; John 5:8, 9; Acts 8:7lame shall leap like a deer,
And the #Is. 32:4; Matt. 9:32; 12:22tongue of the dumb sing.
For #Is. 41:18; (John 7:38)waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
7The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In #Is. 34:13the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8A #Is. 19:23highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
#Is. 52:1; Joel 3:17; (Matt. 7:13, 14); 1 Pet. 1:15, 16; Rev. 21:27The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.
9#Lev. 26:6; (Is. 11:7, 9); Ezek. 34:25No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,
10And the #Is. 51:11ransomed of the Lord shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And #Is. 25:8; 30:19; 65:19; (Rev. 7:17; 21:4)sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Isaiah 35
35
Zion’s Joyful Future
1The wilderness and the dry land will be glad;
The Arabah (desert) will shout in exultation and blossom
Like the #Or asphodel (lily).autumn crocus.
2It will blossom abundantly
And rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
The majesty of [Mount] Carmel and [the plain] of Sharon.
They will see the glory of the Lord,
The majesty and splendor of our God.
3Encourage the exhausted, and make staggering knees firm.
4Say to those with an anxious and panic-stricken heart,
“Be strong, fear not!
Indeed, your God will come with vengeance [for the ungodly];
The retribution of God will come,
But He will save you.”
5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6Then the lame will leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.
For waters will break forth in the wilderness
And streams in the desert.
7And the burning sand (mirage) will become a pool [of water]
And the thirsty ground springs of water;
In the haunt of jackals, #Lit its resting place.where they lay resting,
Grass becomes reeds and #Lit papyrus.rushes.
8A highway will be there, and a roadway;
And it will be called the Holy Way.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for those who walk on the way [the redeemed];
And fools will not wander on it.
9No lion will be there,
Nor will any predatory animal come up on it;
They will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk there.
10And the ransomed of the Lord will return
And come to Zion with shouts of jubilation,
And everlasting joy will be upon their heads;
They will find joy and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
