The wilderness
and the solitary place
shall be glad
for them; and the desert
shall rejoice,
and blossom
as the rose.
It shall blossom
abundantly,
and rejoice
even with joy
and singing:
the glory
of Lebanon
shall be given
unto it, the excellency
of Carmel
and Sharon,
they shall see
the glory
of the LORD,
and the excellency
of our God.

Strengthen
ye the weak
hands,
and confirm
the feeble
knees.
Say
to them that are of a fearful
heart,
Be strong,
fear
not: behold, your God
will come
with vengeance,
even God
with a recompence;
he will come
and save
you.
Then the eyes
of the blind
shall be opened,
and the ears
of the deaf
shall be unstopped.
Then shall the lame
man leap
as an hart,
and the tongue
of the dumb
sing:
for in the wilderness
shall waters
break out,
and streams
in the desert.

And the parched ground
shall become a pool,
and the thirsty land

of water:
in the habitation

where each lay,
shall be grass
with reeds
and rushes.

And an highway
shall be there, and a way,
and it shall be called
The way
of holiness;
the unclean
shall not pass over
it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men,
though fools,
shall not err
therein.
No lion
shall be there, nor any ravenous
beast
shall go up
thereon, it shall not be found
there; but the redeemed
shall walk
there:
And the ransomed
of the LORD
shall return,
and come
to Zion
with songs
and everlasting
joy
upon their heads:
they shall obtain
joy
and gladness,
and sorrow
and sighing
shall flee away.
