Bible Chapter Summary
Isaiah 35 Summary
The wilderness shall rejoice and blossom
The wilderness and solitary place shall be glad and rejoice, blossoming as the rose with abundant flowers. The desert shall see the glory of the LORD and the excellency of God. Isaiah calls the weak to be strengthened and the fearful to be courageous, for God will come with vengeance and recompense to save them. The eyes of the blind shall be opened, the ears of the deaf unstopped. The lame shall leap as a hart, and the dumb shall sing. In the wilderness waters shall break out and streams flow in the desert. An highway of holiness shall be established where the unclean cannot pass; the redeemed shall walk there without fear. The ransomed of the LORD shall return to Zion with everlasting joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
