Isaiah:35

* The desert will rejoice , and flowers will bloom in the wastelands . * The desert will sing and shout for joy ! It will be beautiful like the Lebanon Mountains . It will be fertile as the fields of Carmel and Sharon . Everyone will see Jehovah ’s splendor . They will see his greatness and power . * Strengthen the tired hands and the knees that tremble with weakness . * Tell the discouraged ones with anxious heart : »Be strong and do not be afraid ! God is coming to your rescue ! He is coming to punish your enemies .« * Then the blind will be able to see , and the deaf will hear . * The lame will leap and dance , and those who cannot speak will shout for joy . Streams of water will flow through the desert plain . * The parched ground will become a lake , and dry land will be filled with springs . Marsh grass and reeds will grow where jackals used to live . * There will be a highway there , called : »The Road of Holiness .« No sinner will ever travel that road . No fools will mislead those who follow it . * No lions will be there . No fierce animals will pass that way ! Those whom Jehovah has rescued will travel home by that road . * They will reach Jerusalem with gladness , singing and shouting for joy . They will be happy forever . They will be forever free from sorrow and grief .
