Isaiah 35 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Zion’s Happy Future

Isa 35:1

The wilderness and the desert will rejoice,

And the [fn]desert will shout for joy and blossom;

Like the crocus

Isa 35:2

It will blossom profusely

And rejoice with joy and jubilation.

The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,

The majesty of Carmel and Sharon.

They will see the glory of the LORD,

The majesty of our God.

Isa 35:3

Strengthen the [fn]exhausted, and make the [fn]feeble strong.

Isa 35:4

Say to those with anxious heart,

“Take courage, fear not.

Behold, your God will come with vengeance;

The retribution of God will come,

But He will save you.”

Isa 35:5

Then the eyes of those who are blind will be opened,

And the ears of those who are deaf will be unstopped.

Isa 35:6

Then those who limp will leap like a deer,

And the tongue of those who cannot speak will shout for joy.

For waters will burst forth in the wilderness,

And streams in the [fn]desert.

Isa 35:7

The [fn]scorched land will become a pool

And the thirsty ground springs of water;

In the haunt of jackals, its resting place,

Grass becomes reeds and rushes.

Isa 35:8

A highway will be there, a roadway,

And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.

The unclean will not travel on it,

But it will be for the one who walks that way,

And fools will not wander on it.

Isa 35:9

No lion will be there,

Nor will any vicious animal go up on it;

[fn]They will not be found there.

But the redeemed will walk there,

Isa 35:10

And the redeemed of the LORD will return

And come to Zion with joyful shouting,

And everlasting joy will be on their heads.

They will obtain gladness and joy,

And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
