¹ The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a wildflower. [1] ⓝ

² It will blossom abundantly and will also rejoice with joy and singing. 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. ⓒ

³ Strengthen the weak hands, steady the shaking knees! ⓓ

⁴ Say to the cowardly: “Be strong; do not fear! Here is your God; vengeance is coming. ⓔ God’s retribution is coming; he will save you.” ⓕ

⁵ Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped. ⓖ

⁶ Then the lame will leap like a deer, ⓗ and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy, ⓘ for water will gush in the wilderness, and streams in the desert; ⓙ

⁷ the parched ground will become a pool, and the thirsty land springs. ⓚ In the haunt of jackals, ⓛ in their lairs, there will be grass, reeds, and papyrus.

⁸ A road will be there and a way; ⓜ it will be called the Holy Way. ⓝ The unclean will not travel on it, ⓐ but it will be for the one who walks the path. ⓑ Fools will not wander on it.

⁹ There will be no lion there, and no vicious beast will go up on it; they will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk on it,

¹⁰ and the redeemed of the LORD will return ⓒ and come to Zion with singing, crowned with unending joy. Joy and gladness will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee. ⓓ
