# Isaiah 35 [[Isaiah 34|←]] • [[Isaiah 36|→]] --- ### 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, the excellency of our God. ### 3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. ### 4 Say to them of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come vengeance, God 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 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, 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 for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err ### 9 No lion shall be there, nor ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk ### 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.
