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 Die woestyn en die dor land sal bly wees, en die wildernis sal juig en bloei soos 'n narsing;2 dit sal lustig bloei en juig, ja, met gejuig en gejubel; die heerlikheid van die L¡banon is aan hom gegee, die sieraad van Karmel en Saron; hulle d r sal sien die heerlikheid van die HERE, die sieraad van onse God.3 Versterk die slap hande en maak die struikelende knieë vas.4 Sê aan die wat vervaard is van hart: Wees sterk, wees nie bevrees nie! Kyk, julle God kom met wraak, met goddelike vergelding; Hy self sal kom en julle verlos.5 Dan sal die oë van die blindes geopen en die ore van die dowes ontsluit word.6 Dan sal die lamme spring soos 'n takbok, en die tong van die stomme sal jubel; want in die woestyn breek waters uit en strome in die wildernis.7 En die gloeiende grond sal 'n waterplas word, en die dorsland fonteine van water; in die plek van die jakkalse waar hulle gelê en rus het, is gras met riete en biesies.8 En d r sal 'n grootpad wees en 'n weg wat die heilige weg genoem sal word; geen onreine sal daarop voorttrek nie, maar vir hulle sal dit wees; wie die weg bewandel -- selfs die dwase sal nie dwaal nie.9 D r sal geen leeu wees nie, en geen verskeurende dier sal daarop kom of daar aangetref word nie; maar die verlostes sal daarop wandel;10 en die losgekooptes van die HERE sal teruggaan en na Sion kom met gejubel, en ewige vreugde sal op hulle hoof wees; vreugde en blydskap sal hulle verkry, maar kommer en gesug vlug weg.
