1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.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.3 Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.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.5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped;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.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.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}.9 No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk {there}.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.

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。
