Isaiah 35:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 (A) The blind will see,
and the ears of the deaf
will be healed.
6 (B) Those who were lame
will leap around like deer;
tongues once silent
will shout for joy.
Water will rush
through the desert.
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]
