⁴ Say this to people who are afraid:
‘Be strong! Do not be afraid!
    Your God is coming now.
He is coming to punish his enemies
    for the bad things that they have done.
He is coming to rescue you!’
⁵ At that time, he will open the eyes of blind people.
    Deaf people will hear again.
⁶ People with weak legs will jump like deer.
    People who cannot speak now will shout with joy.
Water will pour from springs in the desert.
    Streams of water will run in the wilderness.
