Isaiah 35:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10

The wilderness and the parched land will exult; the Arabah will rejoice and bloom

Like the crocus it shall bloom abundantly, and rejoice with joyful song. 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.

Strengthen hands that are feeble, make firm knees that are weak

Say to the fearful of heart: Be strong, do not fear! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; With divine recompense he comes to save you.

Then the eyes of the blind shall see, and the ears of the deaf be opened

Then the lame shall leap like a stag, and the mute tongue sing for joy. For waters will burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the Arabah.

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and enter Zion singing, crowned with everlasting joy; They meet with joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning flee away.
