The wildernessand the solitary placeshall be gladfor them; and the desertshall rejoice, and blossomas the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoiceevenwith joyand singing: the gloryof Lebanonshall be givenunto it, the excellencyof Carmeland Sharon, theyshall seethe gloryof the LORD, and the excellencyof our God. Strengthenye the weakhands, and confirmthe feebleknees. Sayto them that are of a fearfulheart, Be strong, fearnot: behold, your Godwill come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; hewill comeand saveyou. Thenthe eyesof the blindshall be opened, and the earsof the deafshall be unstopped. Thenshall the lame man leapas a hart, and the tongueof the dumbsing: forin the wildernessshall watersbreak out, and streamsin the desert. And the parched groundshall becomea pool, and the thirsty landspringsof water: in the habitationof dragons, where each lay, shall be grasswith reedsand rushes. And a highwayshall bethere, and a way, and it shall be calledThe wayof holiness; the uncleanshall notpass overit; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall noterr therein . Nolionshall bethere, nor any ravenousbeastshall go upthereon, it shall notbe foundthere; but the redeemedshall walk there : And the ransomedof the LORDshall return, and cometo Zionwith songsand everlastingjoyupontheir heads: they shall obtainjoyand gladness, and sorrowand sighingshall flee away.
