Isaiah 35:3-8

3If your hands feel weak, now be strong! If your knees are shaking, now be brave!

4Say this to people who are afraid: ‘Be strong! Do not be afraid! Your God is coming now. He is coming to punish his enemies for the bad things that they have done. He is coming to rescue you!’

5At that time, he will open the eyes of blind people. Deaf people will hear again.

6People with weak legs will jump like deer. People who cannot speak now will shout with joy. Water will pour from springs in the desert. Streams of water will run in the wilderness.

7The hot earth will become a pool of water. The dry ground will have springs of water. In the places where jackals made their homes, there will now be grasses and reeds.

8There will be a great road there. It will be called ‘The Holy Way’. People who are unclean will not travel on it. It will be for those people who know God's way. Evil fools will not walk on it.
