1 The desert and the dry land will be glad,and the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
2 Like a lily the land will blossom.It will rejoice and sing with joy.It will have the glory of Lebanon, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.Everyone will see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.
3 Strengthen limp hands.Steady weak knees.
4 Tell those who are terrified,“Be brave; don’t be afraid.Your God will come with vengeance, with divine revenge.He will come and rescue you.”
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,and the ears of the deaf will be unplugged.
