Isaiah 35
35
God Will Comfort His People
1The dry desert will rejoice. The desert will be glad and blossom. 2It will be covered with flowers and dance with joy. It will be as beautiful as the forest of Lebanon, the hill of Carmel, and the Sharon Valley. This will happen because all people will see the Glory of the Lord. They will see the beauty of our God.
3Make the weak arms strong again. Strengthen the weak knees. 4People are afraid and confused. Say to them, “Be strong! Don’t be afraid!” Look, your God will come and punish your enemies. He will come and give you your reward. He will save you. 5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened so that they can see, and the ears of the deaf will be opened so that they can hear. 6Crippled people will dance like deer, and those who cannot speak now will use their voices to sing happy songs. This will happen when springs of water begin to flow in the dry desert. 7Now people see mirages#35:7 mirages In the desert, heat rising from the ground looks like water from far away. This is a mirage. that look like water, but then there will be real pools of water. There will be wells in the dry land where water flows from the ground. Tall water plants will grow where wild animals once ruled.
8There will be a road there. This highway will be called “The Holy Road.” Evil people will not be allowed to walk on that road. No fools#35:8 fools Here, this means people who don’t follow God and his wise teachings. will walk on it. Only good people will walk there. 9There will be no dangers on that road. There will be no lions there to hurt people or any dangerous animals on it. That road will be for the people God saves.
10The Lord will make his people free, and they will come back to him. They will come into Zion rejoicing. They will be happy forever. Their happiness will be like a crown on their heads. Gladness and joy will fill them completely. Sorrow and sadness will be far, far away.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 35
35
1Let the wilderness and the dry place be glad for them, and let the desert rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2It blossoms much and rejoices, even with joy and singing. The esteem of Leḇanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Karmel and Sharon. They shall see the esteem of יהוה, the excellency of our Elohim.
3Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the weak knees.
4Say to those with anxious heart, “Be strong, do not fear! See, your Elohim comes with vengeance, with the recompense of Elohim. He is coming to save you.”
5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be opened.
6Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing, because waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water – in the home for jackals, where each lay, grass with reeds and rushes.
8And there shall be a highway, and a way, and it shall be called “The Way of Set-apartness.”#See Psa. 77:13 The unclean does not pass over it, but it is for those who walk the way, and no fools wander on it.
9No lion is there, nor any ravenous beast go up on it, it is not found there. But the redeemed shall walk there.
10And the ransomed of יהוה shall return and enter Tsiyon with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
