| Chapter 35 | |||
| 1 | The wilderness and the solitary place 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 unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [ and ] the excellency of our God. | ||
| 3 | Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. | ||
| 4 | Say 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. | ||
| 5 | Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. | ||
| 6 | Then 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. | ||
| 7 | And 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. | ||
| 8 | And 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. ] | ||
| 9 | No lion shall be there, nor [ any ] ravenous beast shall go up thereon, 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 songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. | ||
