Isaiah

Isaiah 35:4–6

⁴Say to those with anxious hearts:

“Be strong, do not fear!

Behold, your God will come with vengeance.

With divine retribution He will come to save you.”

⁵Then the eyes of the blind will be opened

and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

⁶Then the lame will leap like a deer

and the mute tongue will shout for joy.

For waters will gush forth in the wilderness,

and streams in the desert.
