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,
