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