Isaiah
Chapters 35
World Messianic Bible
1The wilderness and the dry land will be glad.The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
2It will blossom abundantly,and rejoice even with joy and singing.Lebanon’s glory will be given to it,the excellence of Carmel and Sharon.They will see the Lord’s glory,the excellence of our God.
3Strengthen the weak hands,and make firm the feeble knees.
4Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong.Don’t be afraid.Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution.He will come and save you.
5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6Then the lame man will leap like a deer,and the tongue of the mute will sing;for waters will break out in the wilderness,and streams in the desert.
7The burning sand will become a pool,and the thirsty ground springs of water.Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
8A highway will be there, a road,and it will be called The Holy Way.The unclean shall not pass over it,but it will be for those who walk in the Way.Wicked fools will not go there.
9No lion will be there,nor will any ravenous animal go up on it.They will not be found there;but the redeemed will walk there.
10Then the Lord’s ransomed ones will return,and come with singing to Zion;and everlasting joy will be on their heads.They will obtain gladness and joy,and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”
