# Chapter 35
|
|
1 The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,
|
|
And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
|
|
2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,
|
|
Even with joy and singing.
|
|
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
|
|
The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
|
|
They shall see the glory of the Lord,
|
|
The excellency of our God.
|
|
3 Strengthen the weak hands,
|
|
And make firm the feeble knees.
|
|
4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
|
|
“Be strong, do not fear!
|
|
Behold, your God will come with vengeance,
|
|
With the recompense of God;
|
|
He will come and save you.”
|
|
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
|
|
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
|
|
6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
|
|
And the tongue of the dumb sing.
|
|
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
|
|
And streams in the desert.
|
|
7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
|
|
And the thirsty land springs of water;
|
|
In the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
|
|
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
|
|
8 A highway shall be there, and a road,
|
|
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
|
|
The unclean shall not pass over it,
|
|
But it shall be for others.
|
|
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
|
|
Shall not go astray.
|
|
9 No lion shall be there,
|
|
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
|
|
It shall not be found there.
|
|
But the redeemed shall walk there,
|
|
10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,
|
|
And come to Zion with singing,
|
|
With everlasting joy on their heads.
|
|
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
|
|
And sorrow and sighing shall flee away. |
