The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

The wilderness and dry land shall rejoice for them; and the desert shall exult and bloom like the crocus.

Blooming, it shall bloom and exult, even [with] joy and singing. Lebanon's glory shall be given to it, the honor of Carmel and Sharon; they shall see the glory of Jehovah, the majesty of our God.

Make the weak hands strong, and firm up the feeble knees.

Say to those of a hasty heart, Be strong! Do not fear! Behold, your God will come [with] vengeance; with the full dealing of God, He will come and save you.

Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing. For waters shall break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.

And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of waters, in the home of jackals, in its lair, and a place for the reed and rush.

And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. And it [is] for them, the wayfaring one; yea, fools shall not go astray.

No lion shall be there; and no violent beast shall go up on it; it shall not be found there. But redeemed ones shall walk there.

And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return and enter Zion, with singing and everlasting joy on their head; gladness and joy shall reach [them]; and sorrow and sighing shall flee.
