Isaiah 35
35
The Ransomed Shall Return
1 # ch. 55:12, 13 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
# [ch. 32:15] the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;
2it shall blossom abundantly
and rejoice with joy and singing.
#
Song 5:15 The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
the majesty of #Song 7:5 Carmel and #ch. 33:9; Song 2:1 Sharon.
# ch. 40:5 They shall see the glory of the Lord,
the majesty of our God.
3 # Cited Heb. 12:12; [ch. 40:1] Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
4Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
# [ch. 40:10, 11] Behold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
5 # ch. 32:3, 4 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
6 # [See ver. 5 above] then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
# [ver. 1; ch. 41:18; 43:19; 44:3, 4; John 7:38, 39] For waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
7 # ch. 48:20, 21; 49:10 the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of #See ch. 13:22jackals, where they lie down,
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
8 # ch. 40:3 And a highway shall be there,
and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;
# ch. 52:1 the unclean shall not pass over it.
It shall belong to those who walk on the way;
even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.#35:8 Or if they are fools, they shall not wander in it
9No lion shall be there,
nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
but the redeemed shall walk there.
10 # ch. 51:11 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return
and come to Zion with singing;
# ch. 65:19; [ch. 25:8; Rev. 7:17; 21:4] everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
they shall obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Zion’s Joyful Future
1The wilderness and the dry land will be glad;
The Arabah (desert) will shout in exultation and blossom
Like the #Or asphodel (lily).autumn crocus.
2It will blossom abundantly
And rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
The majesty of [Mount] Carmel and [the plain] of Sharon.
They will see the glory of the Lord,
The majesty and splendor of our God.
3Encourage the exhausted, and make staggering knees firm.
4Say to those with an anxious and panic-stricken heart,
“Be strong, fear not!
Indeed, your God will come with vengeance [for the ungodly];
The retribution of God will come,
But He will save you.”
5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6Then the lame will leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.
For waters will break forth in the wilderness
And streams in the desert.
7And the burning sand (mirage) will become a pool [of water]
And the thirsty ground springs of water;
In the haunt of jackals, #Lit its resting place.where they lay resting,
Grass becomes reeds and #Lit papyrus.rushes.
8A highway will be there, and a roadway;
And it will be called the Holy Way.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for those who walk on the way [the redeemed];
And fools will not wander on it.
9No lion will be there,
Nor will any predatory animal come up on it;
They will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk there.
10And the ransomed of the Lord will return
And come to Zion with shouts of jubilation,
And everlasting joy will be upon their heads;
They will find joy and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
