The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 germinans germinabit et exultabit laetabunda et laudans gloria Libani data est ei decor Carmeli et Saron ipsi videbunt gloriam Domini et decorem Dei nostri
2
It 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 Jehovah, the excellency of our God.
3 confortate manus dissolutas et genua debilia roborate

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [with] the recompense of God; he will come and save you.
5 tunc aperientur oculi caecorum et aures surdorum patebunt
5
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 tunc saliet sicut cervus claudus et aperta erit lingua mutorum quia scissae sunt in deserto aquae et torrentes in solitudine
6
Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7 et quae erat arida in stagnum et sitiens in fontes aquarum in cubilibus in quibus prius dracones habitabant orietur viror calami et iunci
7
And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 et erit ibi semita et via et via sancta vocabitur non transibit per eam pollutus et haec erit nobis directa via ita ut stulti non errent per eam
8
And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but is shall be for [the redeemed]: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err [therein].
9 non erit ibi leo et mala bestia non ascendet per eam nec invenietur ibi et ambulabunt qui liberati fuerint
9
No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]:
10 et redempti a Domino convertentur et venient in Sion cum laude et laetitia sempiterna super caput eorum gaudium et laetitiam obtinebunt et fugiet dolor et gemitus
10
and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
