Isaiah 34:16–35:1

16 Look in the scroll of the Lord and read:

None of these will be missing,

not one will lack her mate.

For it is his mouth that has given the order,

and his Spirit will gather them together.

17 He allots their portions;

his hand distributes them by measure.

They will possess it forever

and dwell there from generation to generation.

1 The desert and the parched land will be glad;

the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.

Like the crocus,

16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:

Not one of these shall be missing;

none shall be without her mate.

For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,

and his Spirit has gathered them.

17 He has cast the lot for them;

his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;

they shall possess it forever;

from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;

the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;

16 Search the book of the Lord,

and see what he will do.

Not one of these birds and animals will be missing,

and none will lack a mate,

for the Lord has promised this.

His Spirit will make it all come true.

17 He has surveyed and divided the land

and deeded it over to those creatures.

They will possess it forever,

from generation to generation.

1 Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days.

The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses.

16 “Search from the book of the Lord, and read:

Not one of these shall fail;

Not one shall lack her mate.

For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.

17 He has cast the lot for them,

And His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line.

They shall possess it forever;

From generation to generation they shall dwell in it.”

1 The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,

And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;

16 Look at the Lord’s scroll and read what is written there:

None of these will be missing;

none will be without its mate.

God has given the command,

so his Spirit will gather them together.

17 God has divided the land among them,

and he has given them each their portion.

So they will own that land forever

and will live there year after year.

1 The desert and dry land will become happy;

the desert will be glad and will produce flowers.

Like a flower,

16 Seek ye out of the book of Jehovah, and read: no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them. 17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

16 Search ye in the book of Jehovah and read: not one of these shall fail, one shall not have to seek for the other; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them. 17 For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

16 Search the Lord’s book, and read it. 

Not one of these animals will be missing. 

Not one will lack a mate, 

because the Lord has commanded it, 

and his Spirit will gather them together. 

17 He is the one who throws dice for them, 

and his hand divides up ⸤the land⸥ for them with a measuring line. 

They will possess it permanently 

and live there for generations. 

1 The desert and the dry land will be glad, 

and the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.

16 Look in the scroll of the Lord. There you will read that

none of those animals will be missing.

Male and female alike will be there.

The Lord himself has commanded it.

And his Spirit will gather them together.

17 The Lord will decide what part of the land goes to each animal.

Then he will give each one its share.

It will belong to them forever.

And they will live there for all time to come.

1 The desert and the dry ground will be glad.

The dry places will be full of joy.

Flowers will grow there.

Like the first crocus in the spring,

Like the crocus
