1The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 3Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. 5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6τοτε αλιτε ωϲ ελαφοϲ χωλοϲ · και τρανη εϲται γλωϲϲα μογιλαλων ˙ οτι ερραγη εν τη ερημω ϋδωρʼ · και φαραγξʼ εν γη διψωϲη · 7και η ανϋδροϲ εϲτε ειϲ ελη · και ειϲ την διψωϲαν γην · πηγη ϋδατοϲ εϲται · εκει ευφροϲυνη ορνεων . επαυλιϲ ποιμνιω και ελη 8εϲτε εκι οδοϲ καθαρα · και οδοϲ αγια · κληθηϲεται · και ου μη παρελθη εκι ακαθαρτοϲ · ουδε εϲτε εκι οδοϲ ακαθαρτοϲ ˙ οι δε διεϲπαρμενοι · πορευϲονται επ αυτηϲ · και ου μη πλανηθωϲι · 9και ουκ εϲτε εκι λεων · ουδε των θηριων των πονηρων . ου μη αναβη επ αυτην · ουδε μη ευρεθη εκει · αλʼλα πορευϲονται εν αυτη λελυτρωμενοι 10και ϲυνηγμενοι δια κν · και αποϲτραφηϲονται · και ηξουϲιν ειϲ ϲιων μετ ευφροϲυνηϲ · και ευφροϲυνη αιωνιοϲ · ϋπερ κεφαληϲ αυτων · επι γαρ καιφαληϲ αυτων . ενεϲειϲ και αγαλλιαμα κ(αι) ευφροϲυνη καταλημϲψετε αυτουϲ · απεδρα οδυνη και λυπη και ϲτεναγμοϲ :
6Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8And an 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 those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. 9No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 10And 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.
