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.

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.

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.”

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 fools… follow 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.
