The Ransomed Return To Zion

7 And the mirage hath become a pond, And the thirsty land fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of couching down, a court for reed and rush. 8 And a highway hath been there, and a way, And the 'way of holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean, And He Himself is by them, Whoso is going in the way -- even fools err not. 9 No lion is there, yea, a destructive beast Ascendeth it not, it is not found there, And walked have the redeemed,
