Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 35

Hope for Restoration

1 Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days, The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses.

2 Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing and joy! The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Labanun, as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharun, There 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH  will display His Kabad, the splendor of our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH.

3 With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those who have weak knees.

4 Say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, and do not fear, for your 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH is coming to destroy your enemies, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is coming to save you.”

5 And when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH comes, He will open the eyes of the blind and unplug the ears of the deaf.

6 The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy! Springs will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams will water the wasteland.

7 The parched ground will become a pool, and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land, Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish where desert jackals once lived.

8 And a great road will go through that once deserted land, It will be named the Highway of qadashym, Evil-minded people will never travel on it, It will be only for those who walk in the ways of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH; fools will never walk there.

9 Lions will not lurk along its course, nor any other ferocious beasts, there will be no other dangers, Only the redeemed will walk on it.

10 Those who have been ransomed by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will return, They will enter Yahushalam singing, crowned with everlasting joy, Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness.
