35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for
them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.
35:2 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, [and] the excellence of our God.
35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
35:4 Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear
not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God
[with] a recompense; he will come and save you.
35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of
the deaf shall be unstopped.
35:6 Then shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of
the dumb shall sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break
out, and streams in the desert.
35:7 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.
35:8 And a 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 way-faring men, though
fools, shall not err [therein].
35:9 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]:
35:10 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.
