1 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad.The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
2 It 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.
3 Strengthen the weak hands,and make firm the feeble knees.
4 Tell 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.
