¹The forsaken Judah and without a way shall be glad, and the wilder-ness shall make full out joy, and shall flower as a lily.

²It burgeoning shall burgeon, and it glad and praising shall make full out joy. The glory of Lebanon is given to it, the fairness of Carmel and of Sharon; they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the fairness of our God.

³Comfort ye the benumbed hands, and make ye strong the feeble knees.

⁴Say ye, Men of little comfort, be ye comforted, and do not ye dread; lo! our God shall bring the vengeance of yielding, God himself shall come, and shall save us.

⁵Then the eyes of blind men shall be opened, and the ears of deaf men shall be opened.

⁶Then a crooked man shall skip as an hart, and the tongue of dumb men shall be opened; for why waters be broken out in desert, and streams in wilderness.

⁷And that that was dry, is made into a pond, and the thirsty is made into wells of waters. The Greenness of the reed, and of the spire shall grow in the dens, in which dwelled dragons before.

⁸And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called an holy way, he that is defouled shall not pass thereby; and this shall be a straight right way to you, so that fools err not thereby.

⁹A lion shall not be there, and an evil beast shall not ascend or go up thereby, neither shall be found there. And they shall go, that be delivered;

¹⁰and again-bought of the Lord; and they shall be converted, and shall come into Zion with praising; and everlasting gladness shall be on the heads of them; they shall have joy and gladness, and sorrow and wailing shall flee away.
