Isaiah 35:6-8
New International Version
6 Then will the lame(A) leap like a deer,(B)
and the mute tongue(C) shout for joy.(D)
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams(E) in the desert.
7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground(F) bubbling springs.(G)
In the haunts where jackals(H) once lay,
grass and reeds(I) and papyrus will grow.
Isaiah 35:6-8
King James Version
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.

Isaiah 35:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
(B)For waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
7 (C)the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of (D)jackals, where they lie down,
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
8 (E)And a highway shall be there,
and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;
(F)the unclean shall not pass over it.
It shall belong to those who walk on the way;
even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.[a]
