1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Isaiah 35

1 They joyful flourishing of Christ's Kingdom. 3 The weak are encouraged by the virtues and privileges of the Gospel.

 35:1 ¶ The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

 35:2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.

 35:3 ¶ Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.

 35:4 Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and save you.

 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped;

 35:6 then shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert.

 35:7 And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

 35:8 And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way—even fools,—shall not err [therein].

 35:9 No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].

 35:10 And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
