The desert blossoms
The wilderness and the solitary place will be glad for them, and the desert will rejoice and blossom like the rose. It will blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD and the excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees. Say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong. Don't be afraid. Your God is coming. He'll settle the score, and he'll come to save you.’ Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer and those who cannot speak will sing. Water will burst out in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The parched ground will become a pool and the thirsty land will turn into springs. Where jackals once lived, grass, reeds and rushes will grow.
The desert and the dry ground will be glad, and the wasteland will celebrate and blossom like a rose. It'll blossom and blossom and celebrate with singing and shouting. The glory of Lebanon is given to it, the splendour of Carmel and Sharon. They'll see the glory of the Lord, the splendour of our God. Strengthen the weak hands and steady the shaking knees. Say to the anxious hearts: Be strong, don't be afraid. Look — your God is coming with vengeance, with the repayment of God. He's coming to save you. Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then the lame man will jump like a deer and the tongue of the mute will sing out. Because water will break out in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The mirage will turn into a pool and the thirsty ground into springs of water. Where the jackals used to lie there'll be grass with reeds and rushes.
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 springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

The Way of Holiness
A highway will be there, and a way, and it will be called The Way of Holiness. The unclean won't pass over it, but it will be for those; wayfaring men, though fools, will not err in it. No lion will be there and no ravenous beast will come up on it. They won't be found there. But the redeemed will walk there. The ransomed of the LORD will return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads. They'll obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
And a highway will be there, a road, and it'll be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean won't go along it — it's for those who walk that way. And fools won't wander onto it. No lion will be there and no ravenous beast will come up on it. They won't be found there. But the redeemed will walk there. And the ransomed of the Lord will come back and come into Zion singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. Gladness and joy will catch up with them, and grief and groaning will run away.
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.
