New English Translation

Isaiah 35:7-10 New English Translation (NET)

7. The dry soil will become a pool of water,the parched ground springs of water.Where jackals once lived and sprawled out,grass, reeds, and papyrus will grow.

8. A thoroughfare will be there – it will be called the Way of Holiness.The unclean will not travel on it;it is reserved for those authorized to use it – fools will not stray into it.

9. No lions will be there,no ferocious wild animals will be on it – they will not be found there.Those delivered from bondage will travel on it,

10. those whom the Lord has ransomed will return that way.They will enter Zion with a happy shout.Unending joy will crown them,happiness and joy will overwhelm them;grief and suffering will disappear.
