The Book of Isaiah
Chapter 35
1The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 3Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6Then
shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall
waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the
thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with
reeds and rushes. 8And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of
holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though
fools, shall not err therein. 9No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it
shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 10And the ransomed of the LORD
shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain
joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
