1 The dry|strong="H6723" desert|strong="H6160" will|strong="H6160" rejoice|strong="H1523". The desert|strong="H6160" will|strong="H6160" be glad|strong="H7797" and|strong="H6723" blossom.
2 It|strong="H5414" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" covered with|strong="H3068" flowers and|strong="H3068" dance with|strong="H3068" joy|strong="H7442". It|strong="H5414" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" as|strong="H3068" beautiful|strong="H1926" as|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" forest of|strong="H0430" Lebanon|strong="H3844", the|strong="H7200" hill of|strong="H0430" Carmel|strong="H3760", and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" Sharon|strong="H8289" Valley. This|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" happen because all|strong="H0637" people|strong="H7200" will|strong="H3068" see|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" Glory|strong="H3519" of|strong="H0430" the|strong="H7200" LORD|strong="H3068". They|strong="H1992" will|strong="H3068" see|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" beauty of|strong="H0430" our|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430".
3 Make|strong="H2388" the|strong="H2388" weak|strong="H3782" arms|strong="H3027" strong|strong="H2388" again. Strengthen|strong="H2388" the|strong="H2388" weak|strong="H3782" knees|strong="H1290".
4 People|strong="H3820" are|strong="H0430" afraid|strong="H3372" and|strong="H0935" confused. Say|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0559" them|strong="H0935", “Be|strong="H0408" strong|strong="H2388"! Don’t|strong="H0408" be|strong="H0408" afraid|strong="H3372"!” Look|strong="H2009", your|strong="H0935" God|strong="H0430" will|strong="H0430" come|strong="H0935" and|strong="H0935" punish your|strong="H0935" enemies. He|strong="H1931" will|strong="H0430" come|strong="H0935" and|strong="H0935" give|strong="H0935" you|strong="H0935" your|strong="H0935" reward. He|strong="H1931" will|strong="H0430" save|strong="H3467" you|strong="H0935".
5 Then|strong="H0227" the|strong="H0227" eyes|strong="H5869" of|strong="H5869" the|strong="H0227" blind|strong="H5787" will|strong="H5869" be|strong="H0241" opened|strong="H6605" so|strong="H0227" that|strong="H5869" they|strong="H0227" can|strong="H5869" see|strong="H5869", and|strong="H5869" the|strong="H0227" ears|strong="H0241" of|strong="H5869" the|strong="H0227" deaf|strong="H2795" will|strong="H5869" be|strong="H0241" opened|strong="H6605" so|strong="H0227" that|strong="H5869" they|strong="H0227" can|strong="H5869" hear|strong="H0241".
6 Crippled people will|strong="H4325" dance like deer|strong="H0354", and|strong="H4325" those|strong="H3588" who|strong="H3588" cannot speak now|strong="H3588" will|strong="H4325" use their|strong="H3588" voices to|strong="H4325" sing|strong="H7442" happy songs. This|strong="H3588" will|strong="H4325" happen when|strong="H3588" springs of|strong="H4325" water|strong="H4325" begin to|strong="H4325" flow in|strong="H0227" the|strong="H3588" dry desert|strong="H6160".
7 Now|strong="H1961" people see mirages that|strong="H1961" look like|strong="H1961" water|strong="H4325", but|strong="H1961" then|strong="H1961" there|strong="H1961" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" real pools|strong="H0098" of|strong="H4325" water|strong="H4325". There|strong="H1961" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" wells in|strong="H1961" the|strong="H1961" dry land|strong="H8273" where water|strong="H4325" flows from|strong="H1961" the|strong="H1961" ground|strong="H6774". Tall water|strong="H4325" plants will|strong="H1961" grow where wild animals|strong="H1961" once|strong="H1961" ruled.
8 There|strong="H8033" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" road|strong="H1870" there|strong="H8033". This|strong="H1931" highway|strong="H1870" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" called|strong="H7121" “The|strong="H7121" Holy|strong="H6944" Road|strong="H1870".” Evil people|strong="H3808" will|strong="H1961" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H1961" allowed to|strong="H1980" walk|strong="H1980" on|strong="H1980" that|strong="H1931" road|strong="H1870". No|strong="H3808" fools|strong="H0191" will|strong="H1961" walk|strong="H1980" on|strong="H1980" it|strong="H1931". Only good people|strong="H3808" will|strong="H1961" walk|strong="H1980" there|strong="H8033".
9 There|strong="H8033" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" no|strong="H3808" dangers on|strong="H1980" that|strong="H3808" road|strong="H1980". There|strong="H8033" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" no|strong="H3808" lions|strong="H0738" there|strong="H8033" to|strong="H1980" hurt people|strong="H3808" or|strong="H3808" any|strong="H1961" dangerous animals|strong="H2416" on|strong="H1980" it|strong="H8033". That|strong="H3808" road|strong="H1980" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" for|strong="H8033" the|strong="H1961" people|strong="H3808" God|strong="H3808" saves.
10 The|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" make|strong="H7725" his|strong="H5921" people free, and|strong="H0935" they|strong="H5921" will|strong="H3068" come|strong="H0935" back|strong="H7725" to|strong="H0935" him|strong="H5921". They|strong="H5921" will|strong="H3068" come|strong="H0935" into|strong="H0935" Zion|strong="H6726" rejoicing|strong="H8057". They|strong="H5921" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" happy|strong="H8057" forever|strong="H5769". Their|strong="H3068" happiness|strong="H8057" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" like|strong="H7725" a|strong="H0935" crown on|strong="H5921" their|strong="H3068" heads|strong="H7218". Gladness|strong="H8057" and|strong="H0935" joy|strong="H8057" will|strong="H3068" fill them|strong="H5921" completely. Sorrow|strong="H3015" and|strong="H0935" sadness will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" far|strong="H5921", far|strong="H5921" away|strong="H7725".
