Context of Isaiah 35:9

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. No lions will be there. No dangerous wild animals will come onto it. They will not come near to it. It is the people that the Lord has rescued who will travel on that road. 10He has paid the price to rescue them, and they will return home along it. They will be happy and they will sing, as they go into Zion city. They will be very happy for ever. They will never again be sad or upset. All the time they will be completely happy.
