Isaiah 35:4-10

New International Version

⁴ say^(A) to those with fearful hearts,^(B)
    “Be strong, do not fear;^(C)
your God will come,^(D)
    he will come with vengeance;^(E)
with divine retribution
    he will come to save^(F) you.”

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

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