35 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad;
the desert will rejoice and blossom like a wildflower.F,i
and will also rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.j
They will see the glory of the Lord,k
the splendor of our God.l
steady the shaking knees!m
“Be strong; do not fear!
Here is your God; vengeance is coming.n
God’s retribution is coming; he will save you.”o
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.p
6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,q
and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy,r
for water will gush in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;s
7 the parched ground will become a pool,
and the thirsty land, springs.t
In the haunt of jackals,u in their lairs,
there will be grass, reeds, and papyrus.
8 A road will be there and a way;v
it will be called the Holy Way.w
The unclean will not travel on it,x
but it will be for the one who walks the path.y
Fools will not wander on it.
9 There will be no lion there,
and no vicious beast will go up on it;
they will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk on it,
10 and the ransomed of the Lord will returnz
and come to Zion with singing,
crowned with unending joy.
Joy and gladness will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee.aa

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
