Isaiah 34:17–35:2

¹⁷God 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.

God Will Comfort His People

35The desert and dry land will become happy;

the desert will be glad and will produce flowers.

Like a flower, ²it will have many blooms.

It will show its happiness, as if it were shouting with joy.

It will be beautiful like the forest of Lebanon,

as beautiful as the hill of Carmel and the Plain of Sharon.

Everyone will see the glory of the Lord

and the splendor of our God.
