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. |
