Isaiah 35

35
The Road of Holiness
1The desert will rejoice,
and flowers will bloom in the wilderness.
2The desert will sing and shout for joy;
it will be as beautiful as the Lebanon Mountains
and as fertile as the fields of Carmel and Sharon.
Everyone will see the LORD's splendour,
see his greatness and power.
3 # Heb 12.12 Give strength to hands that are tired
and to knees that tremble with weakness.
4Tell everyone who is discouraged,
“Be strong and don't be afraid!
God is coming to your rescue,
coming to punish your enemies.”
5 # Mt 11.5; Lk 7.22 The blind will be able to see,
and the deaf will hear.
6The lame will leap and dance,
and those who cannot speak will shout for joy.
Streams of water will flow through the desert;
7the burning sand will become a lake,
and dry land will be filled with springs.
Where jackals used to live,
marsh grass and reeds will grow.
8There will be a highway there,
called “The Road of Holiness”.
No sinner will ever travel that road;
no fools will mislead those who follow it.#35.8 Probable text no foolsfollow it; Hebrew unclear.
9No lions will be there;
no fierce animals will pass that way.
Those whom the LORD has rescued
will travel home by that road.
10They will reach Jerusalem with gladness,
singing and shouting for joy.
They will be happy for ever,
for ever free from sorrow and grief.
