Isaie 35

¹The desert and the land without passage shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, & shall flourish as the lily.

²Springing it shall spring, & shall rejoice joyful and praising: the glory of Libanus is given to it, the beauty of Carmel, & Saron, they shall see the glory of our Lord, and the beauty of our God.

³Encourage ye the loose hands, and strengthen the weak knees.

⁴Say to the faint hearted: Take courage, and fear not: behold your God shall bring revenge of retribution: God himself will come and will save you.

⁵Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be open.

⁶Then shall the lame leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be opened: because waters are cut out in the desert, and torrents in the wilderness.

⁷And that which was dry land, shall be as a pool, and the thirsty ground as fountains of waters. In the dens wherein dragons dwelt before, shall spring up the greenness of reed and bulrush.

⁸And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way: the polluted shall not pass by it, and this shall be unto you a direct way, so that fools cannot err by it.

⁹The lion shall not be there, and the naughty beast shall not go up by it, nor be found there: and they shall walk that shall be delivered.

¹⁰And the redeemed of our Lord shall be converted, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall fly away.
