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
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.
