Isaiah 35:1-7

1The 1wilderness and the desert will be glad, And the 2 3Arabah will rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus2It will 4blossom profusely And 5rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The 6glory of Lebanon will be given to it, The majesty of 7Carmel and Sharon. They will see the 8glory of the Lord, The majesty of our God.3 9Encourage the 10exhausted, and strengthen the 11feeble.4Say to those with 12anxious heart, “Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with 13vengeance; The 14recompense of God will come, But He will 15save you.”5Then the 16eyes of the blind will be opened And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.6Then the 17lame will leap like a deer, And the 18tongue of the mute will shout for joy. For waters will break forth in the 19wilderness And streams in the 20Arabah.7The 21scorched land will become a pool And the thirsty ground 22springs of water; In the 23haunt of jackals, its resting place, Grass becomes reeds and rushes.
