Isaiah 35:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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.
8 A highway shall be there,
and it shall be called the Holy Way;
the unclean shall not travel on it,[b]
but it shall be for God’s people;[c]
no traveler, not even fools, shall go astray.
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.

New International Version
7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground(A) bubbling springs.(B)
In the haunts where jackals(C) once lay,
grass and reeds(D) and papyrus will grow.
8 And a highway(E) will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;(F)
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean(G) will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
9 No lion(H) will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;(I)
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed(J) will walk there,
