5 The blind will be able to see,and the deaf will hear.
6 The lame will leap and dance,and those who cannot speak will shout for joy.Streams of water will flow through the desert;
7 the burning sand will become a lake,and dry land will be filled with springs.Where jackals used to live,marsh grass and reeds will grow.
8 There will be a highway there,called “The Road of Holiness”.No sinner will ever travel that road;no fools will mislead those who follow it.
9 No lions will be there;no fierce animals will pass that way.Those whom the Lord has rescuedwill travel home by that road.
10 They will reach Jerusalem with gladness,singing and shouting for joy.They will be happy for ever,for ever free from sorrow and grief.
