Isaiah 35:3–10

^3eStrengthen the ³weak hands,

And make firm the ⁴feeble knees.

⁴Say to those who are fearful-hearted,

“Be strong, do not fear!

Behold, your God will come with ^fvengeance,

With the recompense of God;

He will come and ^gsave you.”

⁵Then the ^heyes of the blind shall be opened,

And ⁱthe ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

⁶Then the ^jlame shall leap like a deer,

And the ^ktongue of the dumb sing.

For ^lwaters shall burst forth in the wilderness,

And streams in the desert.

⁷The parched ground shall become a pool,

And the thirsty land springs of water;

In ^mthe habitation of jackals, where each lay,

There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

⁸A ⁿhighway shall be there, and a road,

And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.

^oThe unclean shall not pass over it,

But it shall be for others.

Whoever walks the road, although a fool,

Shall not go astray.

^9pNo lion shall be there,

Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;

It shall not be found there.

But the redeemed shall walk there,

¹⁰And the ^qransomed of the Lord shall return,

And come to Zion with singing,

With everlasting joy on their heads.

They shall obtain joy and gladness,

And ^rsorrow and sighing shall flee away.
