Isaiah 35
35
CHAPTER 35
1The forsaken Judah and without a way shall be glad, and [the] wilder-ness shall make full out joy, and shall flower as a lily.
2It burgeoning shall burgeon, and it glad and praising shall make full out joy. The glory of Lebanon is given to it, the fairness of Carmel and of Sharon; they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the fairness of our God.
3Comfort ye [the] benumbed hands, and make ye strong [the] feeble knees.
4Say ye, Men of little comfort, be ye comforted, and do not ye dread; lo! our God shall bring the vengeance of yielding, God himself shall come, and shall save us.
5Then the eyes of blind men shall be opened, and the ears of deaf men shall be open[ed].
6Then a crooked man shall skip as an hart, and the tongue of dumb men shall be opened; for why waters be broken out in desert, and streams in wilderness.
7And that that was dry, is made into a pond, and the thirsty is made into wells of waters. [The] Greenness of [the] reed, and of [the] spire shall grow in [the] dens, in which dwelled dragons before.
8And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called an holy way, he that is defouled shall not pass thereby; and this shall be a straight [right] way to you, so that fools err not thereby.
9A lion shall not be there, and an evil beast shall not ascend [or go up] thereby, neither shall be found there. And they shall go, that be delivered;
10and again-bought of the Lord; and they shall be converted, and shall come into Zion with praising; and everlasting gladness shall be on the heads of them; they shall have joy and gladness, and sorrow and wailing shall flee away.

Isaiah 35
35
God's Splendor Will Be Seen
1Thirsty deserts will be glad;
barren lands will celebrate
and blossom with flowers.
2Deserts will bloom everywhere
and sing joyful songs.
They will be as majestic
as Mount Lebanon,
as glorious as Mount Carmel
or Sharon Valley.
Everyone will see
the wonderful splendor
of the Lord our God.
God Changes Everything
* 3#He 12.12. Here is a message for all
who are weak, trembling,
and worried:
4“Cheer up! Don't be afraid.
Your God is coming
to punish your enemies.
God will take revenge on them
and rescue you.”
5 #
Mt 11.5; Lk 7.22. The blind will see,
and the ears of the deaf
will be healed.
6 #
4 Macc 10.21. Those who were lame
will leap around like deer;
tongues once silent
will shout for joy.
Water will rush
through the desert.
7Scorching sand
will turn into a lake,
and thirsty ground
will flow with fountains.
Grass will grow in deserts,
where packs of wild dogs
once made their home.#35.7 Grass … home: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
God's Sacred Highway
8A good road will be there,
and it will be named
“God's Sacred Highway.”
It will be for God's people;
no one unfit to worship God
will walk on that road.
And no fools can travel
on that highway.#35.8 And … highway: Or “And not even a fool can miss that highway.”
9No lions or other wild animals
will come near that road;
only those the Lord has saved
will travel there.
10The people the Lord has rescued
will come back singing
as they enter Zion.
Happiness will be a crown
everyone will always wear.
They will celebrate and shout
because all sorrows and worries
will be gone far away.
