Isaiah 35:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Scorching sand
    will turn into a lake,
and thirsty ground
    will flow with fountains.
Grass will grow in deserts,
where packs of wild dogs
    once made their home.^[a]

⁸ A good road will be there,
and it will be named
    “God's Sacred Highway.”
It will be for God's people;
no one unfit to worship God
    will walk on that road.
And no fools can travel
    on that highway.^[b]
9 No lions or other wild animals
    will come near that road;
only those the Lord has saved
    will travel there.
