The Future of Israel’s Land

35 “The desert and the dry land will rejoice;
    the desert will celebrate and blossom. Like crocuses,
it will burst into bloom,
    and rejoice with gladness and shouts of joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
    the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the glory of the Lord,
    the splendor of our God.[a]

Strengthen the feeble hands,
    and support the stumbling knees.
Say to those with anxious hearts,
    ‘Be strong, do not be afraid!
Here is your God—
    he will bring[b] vengeance,
he will bring[c] divine retribution,
    and he will save you.’
