Isaiah 35:1-10 - The Ransomed Return To Zion
1
the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
and will also rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the glory of the Lord,
the splendor of our God.
steady the shaking knees!
“Be strong; do not fear!
Here is your God; vengeance is coming.
God’s retribution is coming; He will save you.”
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy,
for water will gush in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
and the thirsty land springs of water.
In the haunt of jackals,
there will be grass, reeds, and papyrus.
it will be called the Holy Way.
The unclean will not travel on it,
but it will be for the one who walks the path.
Even the fool will not go astray.
and no vicious beast will go up on it;
they will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk on it,
and come to Zion with singing,
crowned with unending joy.
Joy and gladness will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee.
