Isaiah 35
35
The Ransomed Return to Zion
1The wilderness and the dry land will be glad;
the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose. # Or meadow saffron # Not the modern flower but a common wildflower in northern Israel # Ps 65:12; Is 6:11; 7:21-25; 27:10; 32:15; 41:18-19; 51:3; 55:12-13
2It will blossom abundantly
and will also rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. # Sg 2:1; 5:15; 7:5; Is 33:9
They will see the glory of the Lord, # Ex 16:7,10; Lv 9:6,23; Nm 29:6; Is 40:5; Ezk 1:28; 3:23
the splendor of our God. # Ps 45:3-4; 96:6; 104:1; 145:5,12; Is 2:10,19,21; 53:2; 63:1; Ezk 16:14
3Strengthen the weak hands,
steady the shaking knees! # Heb 12:12
4Say to the cowardly:
“Be strong; do not fear!
Here is your God; vengeance is coming. # Is 1:24; 34:8; 47:3; 59:17; 61:2; 63:4
God’s retribution is coming; He will save you.” # Is 33:22
5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped. # Is 29:18; 32:3-4; 42:7,16,18; 50:4; Mt 11:5; Lk 7:22; Jn 9:6-7
6Then the lame will leap like a deer, # Zph 3:19; Mt 11:5; 15:30-31; 21:14; Ac 3:1-8; 8:7; 14:8-10
and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy, # Ex 4:11; Mk 7:32; 9:25
for water will gush in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert; # Is 41:18; 43:19; Jn 7:38-39
7the parched ground will become a pool of water,
and the thirsty land springs of water. # Is 49:10
In the haunt of jackals, # Is 13:22; 34:13 in their lairs,
there will be grass, reeds, and papyrus.
8A road will be there and a way; # Is 40:3; 42:16; 43:16,19; 49:11; 51:10; 57:14; 62:10
it will be called the Holy Way. # Is 4:3; 52:1; Mt 7:13-14; 1Pt 1:15-16
The unclean will not travel on it, # Is 52:1; Rv 21:27
but it will be for the one who walks the path. # Ps 139:24; Is 2:3; 8:11; 30:21; 42:24; 48:17; 58:13
Even the fool will not go astray.
9There will be no lion there,
and no vicious beast will go up on it;
they will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk on it,
10and the redeemed of the Lord will return # Is 51:11
and come to Zion with singing,
crowned with unending joy.
Joy and gladness will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee. # Is 65:19; Rm 9:2; Rv 21:4

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.
