Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

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.

And an 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.

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.

And a highway(J) will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;(K)

The unclean(L) will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion(M) will be there,
    nor any ravenous beast;(N)
    they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed(O) will walk there,
10     and those the Lord has rescued(P) will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;(Q)
    everlasting joy(R) will crown their heads.
Gladness(S) and joy will overtake them,
