IsaiahIsaiah 35
The Book of the ProphetThe Glorious Future of Zion | |
1 |
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. |
2 |
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. |
3 |
¶ Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Heb. 12.12 |
4 |
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. |
5 |
¶ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. |
6 |
Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: Mt. 11.5 · Lk. 7.22 for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. |
7 |
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. |
8 |
¶ 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; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. |
9 |
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: |
10 |
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. |
