Isaiah 35:4-7
The Message
3-4 Energize the limp hands,
strengthen the rubbery knees.
Tell fearful souls,
“Courage! Take heart!
God is here, right here,
on his way to put things right
And redress all wrongs.
He’s on his way! He’ll save you!”
5-7 Blind eyes will be opened,
deaf ears unstopped,
Lame men and women will leap like deer,
the voiceless break into song.
Springs of water will burst out in the wilderness,
streams flow in the desert.
Hot sands will become a cool oasis,
thirsty ground a splashing fountain.
Even lowly jackals will have water to drink,
and barren grasslands flourish richly.
Isaiah 35:4-7
New International Version
4 say(A) to those with fearful hearts,(B)
“Be strong, do not fear;(C)
your God will come,(D)
he will come with vengeance;(E)
with divine retribution
he will come to save(F) you.”
5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened(G)
and the ears of the deaf(H) unstopped.
6 Then will the lame(I) leap like a deer,(J)
and the mute tongue(K) shout for joy.(L)
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams(M) in the desert.
7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground(N) bubbling springs.(O)
In the haunts where jackals(P) once lay,
grass and reeds(Q) and papyrus will grow.
