Isaiah 35:8-10
New King James Version
8 A (A)highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
(B)The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.
9 (C)No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,
10 And the (D)ransomed of the Lord shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And (E)sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
