ISAIAH 35

ISAIAH 35
                                 
                     The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,
                               And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;                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

Strengthen the weak hands,
And make firm the feeble knees.
 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
 
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped
   Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the [mute shall sing]
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert
 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
 
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
 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,
 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
