The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. Ezk 36:35Isa 51:3Isa 55:12-13Isa 27:6Isa 52:9-10Isa 4:2Rev 19:1-7Hos 14:5-6
The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
It will blossom abundantly, Isa 25:9Isa 60:13Rom 10:15Hab 2:14Amo 9:13-15Isa 60:1-3Isa 40:5Isa 55:12-13
and rejoice even with joy and singing.
Lebanon’s glory will be given to it,
the excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the LORD’s glory,
the excellence of our God.
Strengthen the weak hands, Heb 12:12Job 4:3-4Luk 22:32Isa 57:14-16Act 18:23Job 16:5Luk 22:43Jdg 7:11
and make the feeble knees firm.
Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong! Jas 5:7-9Isa 41:10-14Zep 3:16-17Eph 6:10Hag 2:4Isa 34:81Ch 28:20Isa 33:22
Don’t be afraid!
Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution.
He will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, Isa 42:6-7Luk 7:20-23Isa 29:18Mat 11:3-5Isa 32:3-4Psa 146:8Jhn 9:39Isa 50:4
and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
Then the lame man will leap like a deer, Jhn 5:8-9Jhn 7:37-39Luk 11:14Isa 32:4Mat 12:22Mat 9:32-33Psa 51:15Luk 1:64
and the tongue of the mute will sing;
for waters will break out in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool, Act 26:18Isa 49:10Jhn 4:14Isa 34:131Jn 5:19-20Isa 13:22Jhn 7:38Rev 18:2
and the thirsty ground springs of water.
Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
A highway will be there, a road, Mat 7:13-14Isa 42:16Jhn 14:61Pe 1:14-15Rev 21:27Heb 10:20-231Pe 2:9-102Ti 1:9
and it will be called “The Holy Way”.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
but it will be for those who walk in the Way.
Wicked fools shall not go there.
No lion will be there, Ezk 34:25Isa 62:12Exo 15:13Hos 2:18Isa 11:6-9Isa 30:6Isa 63:4Isa 65:25
nor will any ravenous animal go up on it.
They will not be found there;
but the redeemed will walk there.
Then the LORD’s ransomed ones will return, Isa 30:19Rev 21:4Isa 25:8Isa 51:10-11Isa 65:19Jer 33:11Jud 1:21Rev 14:1-4
and come with singing to Zion;
and everlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”
