Then the (A)eyes of those who are blind will be opened,
And the ears of those who are deaf will be unstopped.
Then those who (B)limp will leap like a deer,
And the (C)tongue of those who cannot speak will shout for joy.
For waters will burst forth in the (D)wilderness,
And streams in the [a]desert.
The [b]scorched land will become a pool
And the thirsty ground (E)springs of water;
In the (F)haunt of jackals, its resting place,
Grass becomes reeds and rushes.

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened(A)
    and the ears of the deaf(B) unstopped.
Then will the lame(C) leap like a deer,(D)
    and the mute tongue(E) shout for joy.(F)
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
    and streams(G) in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool,
    the thirsty ground(H) bubbling springs.(I)
In the haunts where jackals(J) once lay,
    grass and reeds(K) and papyrus will grow.
