Isaiah 35:3-10

New International Version

³ Strengthen the feeble hands,
    steady the knees^(A) that give way;
⁴ say^(B) to those with fearful hearts,^(C)
    “Be strong, do not fear;^(D)
your God will come,^(E)
    he will come with vengeance;^(F)
with divine retribution
    he will come to save^(G) you.”

⁵ Then will the eyes of the blind be opened^(H)
    and the ears of the deaf^(I) unstopped.
⁶ Then will the lame^(J) leap like a deer,^(K)
    and the mute tongue^(L) shout for joy.^(M)
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
    and streams^(N) in the desert.
⁷ The burning sand will become a pool,
    the thirsty ground^(O) bubbling springs.^(P)
In the haunts where jackals^(Q) once lay,
    grass and reeds^(R) and papyrus will grow.

⁸ And a highway^(S) will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;^(T)
    it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean^(U) will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
⁹ No lion^(V) will be there,
    nor any ravenous beast;^(W)
    they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed^(X) will walk there,
¹⁰     and those the Lord has rescued^(Y) will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;^(Z)
    everlasting joy^(AA) will crown their heads.
Gladness^(AB) and joy will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.^(AC)
