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
Highway in the Wilderness
1The wilderness and dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a lily.
2It will blossom profusely, will rejoice with joy and singing, will be given the glory of Lebanon, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of Adonai, the splendor of our God.
3Strengthen the limp hands, make firm the wobbly knees.
4Say to those with anxious heart, “Be strong, have no fear!” Behold, your God! Vengeance is coming! God’s recompense—it is coming! Then He will save you.
5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6Then the lame will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing. For water will burst forth in the desert and streams in the wilderness.
7The parched land will become a pool, the thirsty ground springs of water. In the haunt of jackals, where they rest, grass will become reeds and rushes.
8A highway will be there—a roadway. It will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it. It is for the one who walks the way. Fools will not go astray.
9No lion will be there. No ravenous beast will go up on it. They will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there.
10The ransomed of Adonai will return and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
