Isaiah 35

1 Be glad, you thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily. 2 And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has beengiven to it, and the honor of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty ofGod. 3 Be strong, you⌃ relaxed hands and palsied knees. 4 Comfort one another, you⌃ faint-hearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God rendersjudgment, and he will renderit; he will come and save us. 5 Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear. 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speakplainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channelof water in a thirsty land. 7 And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shallbe poured into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations andmarshes. 8 There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall notpass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shallwalk on it, and they shall not go astray. 9 And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at allbe found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord's behalf, shall walk in it, 10 and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joyshall be over their head; for on their headshall be praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, andgroaning have fled away.
