Isaiah 35:3-10

New American Standard Bible

^3 (A)Strengthen the ^[a]exhausted, and make the ^[b]feeble strong.
⁴ Say to those with ^(B)anxious heart,
“Take courage, fear not.
Behold, your God will come with ^(C)vengeance;
The ^(D)retribution of God will come,
But He will ^(E)save you.”
⁵ Then the ^(F)eyes of those who are blind will be opened,
And the ears of those who are deaf will be unstopped.
⁶ Then those who ^(G)limp will leap like a deer,
And the ^(H)tongue of those who cannot speak will shout for joy.
For waters will burst forth in the ^(I)wilderness,
And streams in the ^[c]desert.
⁷ The ^[d]scorched land will become a pool
And the thirsty ground ^(J)springs of water;
In the ^(K)haunt of jackals, its resting place,
Grass becomes reeds and rushes.
^8 (L)A highway will be there, ^(M)a roadway,
And it will be called the Highway of ^(N)Holiness.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for the one who walks that way,
And ^(O)fools will not wander on it.
⁹ No ^(P)lion will be there,
Nor will any vicious animal go up on it;
^[e]They will not be found there.
But ^(Q)the redeemed will walk there,
¹⁰ And ^(R)the redeemed of the Lord will return
And come to Zion with joyful shouting,
And everlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
And ^(S)sorrow and sighing will flee away.
