Isaiah 35
The Glorious Future of
Zion |
| 1 |
The wilderness and the solitary place
shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as
the rose.
|
| 2 |
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice
even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto
it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon; they shall see the glory of
the LORD, and the excellency of our
God.
|
| 3 |
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and
confirm the feeble knees. Heb. 12.12
|
| 4 |
Say to them that are of a fearful
heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come
and save you.
|
| 5 |
Then the eyes of the blind shall be
opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
|
| 6 |
Then shall the lame man leap as a
hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: Mt. 11.5 · Lk. 7.22 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 a 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.
|
| 9 |
No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but
the redeemed shall walk there:
|
| 10 |
and the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and
everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and
gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee
away.
