Isaiah 35
35
1The wilderness and dry land will celebrate; the desert will blossom like the crocus. 2Bloom profusely, celebrate and sing! The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God. 3Make the weak hands strong, and make the trembling knees firm! 4Tell those who are frightened, “Be strong! Don't be afraid! Look, your God is coming to punish his enemies, with divine retribution he will come to save you.”
5When that happens, the blind will see, and the deaf will hear. 6The lame will jump like a deer, and the dumb will sing for joy. Springs will gush in the wilderness; streams will flow in the desert. 7The dried-up ground will become like a pool, the arid land like water springs. In the place where jackals#35:7. Jackals are animals of the desert. used to live, there will be grass and reeds and rushes.
8There will be a highway there, a road called “The Way of Holiness.” Nobody bad#35:8. “Bad”: literally, “unclean.” will travel on it, only those who follow the Way. Fools will not go there. 9No lions or other dangerous animals will be found there on the road—only the redeemed will walk along it. 10Those the Lord has set free will return, singing as they enter Jerusalem, wearing crowns of everlasting joy. They are overcome with thankfulness and happiness; sorrow and sadness simply disappear.

Isaiah 35
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.
