1The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them;
2It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice
3Strengthen ye the weak hands,
4Say to them that are of a fearful heart,
5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
6Then shall the lame man leap as a hart,
7And the parched ground shall become a pool,
8And a highway shall be there, and a way,
9No lion shall be there,
10And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,
