1

THE1 wilderness and 2the solitary place shall be glad 3for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2

4It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: 5the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, 6they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

3

7Strengthena ye the weak hands, and confirm 8the feeble knees.

4

Say to them that are 9of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, 10your God will come 11with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and 12save you.

5

13Then the eyes ofb the blind shall be opened, and the ears ofc the deaf shall be unstopped.

6

Then shall thed lame man leap as an hart, and thee tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall 14watersf15break 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, 16where each lay, 17shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8

And an highway shall be 18there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; 19the unclean shall not pass over it; but 20it shall be 21for those: 22the wayfaring men, though 23fools, 24shall not err therein.

9

25No lion shall be there, 26nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

10

And 27the ransomed of the LORD 28shall return, and come 29to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall 30obtain joyg and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
