1
The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
Isaiah 35:1 In-Context
1
The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus,
2
it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.
3
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way;
4
say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”
5
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
