Chapter 35 |
| 1 | The wilderness
and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice,
and blossom as the rose. |
| 2 | It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even
with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the
excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the
excellency of our God. |
| 3 | Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the
feeble knees. |
|
4 | Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong,
fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a
recompence; he will come and save you. |
| 5 | Then the eyes of the blind
shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. |
| 6 | Then
shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the
wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. |
| 7 | And
the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water:
in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and
rushes. |
| 8 |
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be
called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be
for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. |
| 9 |
No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall
not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: |
| 10 | And the
ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting
joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and
sighing shall flee away. |
