3. Strengthen the weak hands,And make firm the feeble knees.
4. Say to those who are fearful-hearted,“Be strong, do not fear!Behold, your God will come with vengeance,With the recompense of God;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 the lame shall leap like a deer,And the tongue of the dumb sing.For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,And streams in the desert.
7. The parched ground shall become a pool,And the thirsty land springs of water;In the habitation of jackals, where each lay,There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8. A highway shall be there, and a road,And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.The unclean shall not pass over it,But it shall be for others.Whoever walks the road, although a fool,Shall not go astray.
