The wilderness{H4057} and the dry land{H6723} shall be glad;{H7797} and the desert{H6160} shall rejoice,{H1523} and blossom{H6524} as the rose.{H2261}

It shall blossom{H6524} abundantly,{H6524} and rejoice{H1523} even with joy{H1525} and singing;{H7444} the glory{H3519} of Lebanon{H3844} shall be given{H5414} unto it, the excellency{H1926} of Carmel{H3760} and Sharon:{H8289} they shall see{H7200} the glory{H3519} of Jehovah,{H3068} the excellency{H1926} of our God.{H430}

Strengthen{H2388} ye the weak{H7504} hands,{H3027} and confirm{H553} the feeble{H3782} knees.{H1290}

Say{H559} to them that are of a fearful{H4116} heart,{H3820} Be strong,{H2388} fear{H3372} not: behold, your God{H430} will come{H935} [with] vengeance,{H5359} [with] the recompense{H1576} of God;{H430} he will come{H935} and save{H3467} you.

Then the eyes{H5869} of the blind{H5787} shall be opened,{H6491} and the ears{H241} of the deaf{H2795} shall be unstopped.{H6605}

Then shall the lame{H6455} man leap{H1801} as a hart,{H354} and the tongue{H3956} of the dumb{H483} shall sing;{H7442} for in the wilderness{H4057} shall waters{H4325} break out,{H1234} and streams{H5158} in the desert.{H6160}

And the glowing sand{H8273} shall become a pool,{H98} and the thirsty ground{H6774} springs{H4002} of water:{H4325} in the habitation{H5116} of jackals,{H8577} where they lay,{H7258} shall be grass{H2682} with reeds{H7070} and rushes.{H1573}

[And a highway]{H4547} [shall be there, and a way,]{H1870} [and it shall be called]{H7121} [The way]{H1870} [of holiness;]{H6944} [the unclean]{H2931} [shall not pass over]{H5674} [it; but is shall be for the redeemed]: the wayfaring men,{H1980} yea fools,{H191} shall not err{H8582} [therein].

No lion{H738} shall be there, nor shall any ravenous{H6530} beast{H2416} go up{H5927} thereon; they shall not be found{H4672} there; but the redeemed{H1350} shall walk{H1980} [there]:

and the ransomed{H6299} of Jehovah{H3068} shall return,{H7725} and come{H935} with singing{H7440} unto Zion;{H6726} and everlasting{H5769} joy{H8057} shall be upon their heads:{H7218} they shall obtain{H5381} gladness{H8342} and joy,{H8057} and sorrow{H3015} and sighing{H585} shall flee away.{H5127}
