1 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad.
2 It will blossom abundantly,
3 Strengthen the weak hands,
4 Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong!
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
6 Then the lame man will leap like a deer,
7 The burning sand will become a pool,
8 A highway will be there, a road,
9 No lion will be there,
10 Then the LORD’s ransomed ones will return,
