1. Wilderness and parched land, shall be glad for them, -- And the waste plain, shall exult, and blossom as the lily:
2. It shall, blossom abundantly, and exult, Yea with exultation and shouts of triumph, The glory of Lebanon, hath been given to it, The splendour of Carmel, and Sharon, -- They, shall see the glory of Yahweh, the splendour of our God.
3. Strengthen ye the weak hands, -- The trembling knees, make ye firm:
4. Say to the hurried in heart, Be strong, Do not fear, -- Lo! your God, with avenging, doth come, With the recompence of God, He, doth come to save you.
5. Then, shall be opened the eyes of the blind, -- And, the ears of the deaf, be unstopped:
6. Then, shall leap as a hart the lame, Then shall shout the tongue of the dumb, For, there have broken forth -- In the desert -- waters, And streams, in the waste plain:
7. Then shall the glowing sand, become a lake, And thirsty ground -- springs of water, -- In the home of the wild dog -- its lair, Shall he an enclosure for cane and paper -- reed.
8. And there shall be there, a raised way -- even a high road, And the Highroad of Holiness, shall it be called, There shall not pass over it one who is unclean; But He Himself, shall be one of them travelling the road, And the perverse, shall not stray [thereinto] .
9. There shall be, there, no lion, Nor shall ravenous beast, go up thereon, It shall not be found, there, -- Thus, shall travel the redeemed;
10. And the ransomed of Yahweh! shall return, And shall enter Zion with shouting, With gladness age-abiding, upon their head, Joy and gladness shall overtake them, And sorrow and sighing, shall flee away.
