New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Isaiah 35:3-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Strengthen the weak hands
and make firm the feeble knees.(A)
4 Say to those who are of a fearful heart,
“Be strong, do not fear!
Here is your God.
He will come with vengeance,
with terrible recompense.
He will come and save you.”(B)
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf shall be opened;(C)
6 then the lame shall leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.
For waters shall break forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert;(D)
7 the burning sand shall become a pool
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp;[a]
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.(E)
8 A highway shall be there,[b]
and it shall be called the Holy Way;
the unclean shall not travel on it,[c]
but it shall be for God’s people;[d]
no traveler, not even fools, shall go astray.(F)
9 No lion shall be there,
nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
but the redeemed shall walk there.(G)
10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return
and come to Zion with singing;
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
they shall obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.(H)
Isaiah 35:3-10
New International Version
Isaiah 35:3-10
New International Version
3 Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees(A) that give way;
4 say(B) to those with fearful hearts,(C)
“Be strong, do not fear;(D)
your God will come,(E)
he will come with vengeance;(F)
with divine retribution
he will come to save(G) you.”
5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened(H)
and the ears of the deaf(I) unstopped.
6 Then will the lame(J) leap like a deer,(K)
and the mute tongue(L) shout for joy.(M)
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams(N) in the desert.
7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground(O) bubbling springs.(P)
In the haunts where jackals(Q) once lay,
grass and reeds(R) and papyrus will grow.
8 And a highway(S) will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;(T)
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean(U) will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
9 No lion(V) will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;(W)
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed(X) will walk there,
10 and those the Lord has rescued(Y) will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;(Z)
everlasting joy(AA) will crown their heads.
Gladness(AB) and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.(AC)
