Isaiah 35 - NKJV Bible Online

Isaiah 35

The ^awilderness and the ¹wasteland shall be glad for them,

And the ^bdesert² shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;

^aIt shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,

Even with joy and singing.

The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,

The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.

They shall see the ^bglory of the Lord,

The excellency of our God.

^aStrengthen the ¹weak hands,

And make firm the ²feeble knees.

Say to those who are fearful-hearted,

“Be strong, do not fear!

Behold, your God will come with ^avengeance,

With the recompense of God;

He will come and ^bsave you.”

Then the ^aeyes of the blind shall be opened,

And ^bthe ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Then the ^alame shall leap like a deer,

And the ^btongue of the dumb sing.

For ^cwaters shall burst forth in the wilderness,

And streams in the desert.

The parched ground shall become a pool,

And the thirsty land springs of water;

In ^athe habitation of jackals, where each lay,

There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

A ^ahighway shall be there, and a road,

And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.

^bThe unclean shall not pass over it,

But it shall be for others.

Whoever walks the road, although a fool,

Shall not go astray.

^aNo 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,

And the ^aransomed of the Lord shall return,

And come to Zion with singing,

With everlasting joy on their heads.

They shall obtain joy and gladness,

And ^bsorrow and sighing shall flee away.
