Future Glory of Zion
1   The wilderness and the dry land   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 excellence of Carmel and  Sharon,  they  shall  see  the  glory  of  the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
3   Strengthen you the weak hands, and make firm 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 recompense; 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 a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break forth, 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 jackals, where each lay, 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 over it; but it shall be for others: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
9   No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it, 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.
