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.

Chapter 35
A message of hope
1The desert and the dry land will be happy!
The wilderness will be happy too,
and beautiful flowers will grow there.
2Yes, there will be lots of flowers!
The land will sing and shout with joy!
The desert will be as beautiful as Lebanon.
It will seem like lovely places in Carmel and in Sharon.
In those places, people will see the Lord's glory.
They will see that our God is very great.
3If your hands feel weak,
now be strong!
If your knees are shaking,
now be brave!
4Say this to people who are afraid:
‘Be strong! Do not be afraid!
Your God is coming now.
He is coming to punish his enemies
for the bad things that they have done.
He is coming to rescue you!’
5At that time, he will open the eyes of blind people.
Deaf people will hear again.
6People with weak legs will jump like deer.
People who cannot speak now will shout with joy.
Water will pour from springs in the desert.
Streams of water will run in the wilderness.
7The hot earth will become a pool of water.
The dry ground will have springs of water.
In the places where jackals made their homes,
there will now be grasses and reeds.
8There will be a great road there.
It will be called ‘The Holy Way’.
People who are unclean will not travel on it.
It will be for those people who know God's way.
Evil fools will not walk on it.
9No lions will be there.
No dangerous wild animals will come onto it.
They will not come near to it.
It is the people that the Lord has rescued
who will travel on that road.
10He has paid the price to rescue them,
and they will return home along it.
They will be happy and they will sing,
as they go into Zion city.
They will be very happy for ever.
They will never again be sad or upset.
All the time they will be completely happy.
