1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. 9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

1 旷野和干旱之地必欢喜； 沙漠要快乐， 又像番红花一般开花，

2 必茂盛地开花， 大大快乐， 并且欢呼。黎巴嫩的荣耀、迦密和沙仑的华美也赐给它； 人们必看见耶和华的荣耀、我们 神的华美。

3 你们要坚固无力的手， 稳固摇动的膝。

4 又对那些忧心的人说： "你们要刚强， 不要惧怕。看哪！ 你们的 神， 他要来报仇， 来施行报应， 他必来拯救你们。"

5 那时， 瞎子的眼必打开， 聋子的耳必畅通。

6 那时， 瘸子必像鹿一般跳跃， 哑巴的舌头必大声欢呼； 旷野必涌出大水， 沙漠必流出江河。

7 灼热的沙地必变为水池， 干旱之地必变成泉源； 在野狗的住处， 就是它们躺卧之处， 必成为青草、芦苇和蒲草生长的地方。

8 那里必有一条大路， 要称为"圣路"； 不洁净的人不能经过， 那是为那些行走正路的人预备的； 愚昧的人不会在路上留连。

9 那里必没有狮子， 猛兽也不会上去， 在那里必遇不见它们；

10 只有蒙救赎的人必归回， 必欢呼地来到锡安； 永远的喜乐必临到他们的头上； 他们必得着欢喜和快乐， 忧愁和叹息都必逃跑了。
