Isaiah 35:1-2

Contemporary English Version

35 Thirsty deserts will be glad;
barren lands will celebrate
    and blossom with flowers.
² Deserts will bloom everywhere
    and sing joyful songs.
They will be as majestic
    as Mount Lebanon,
as glorious as Mount Carmel
    or Sharon Valley.
Everyone will see
the wonderful splendor
    of the Lord our God.
