10 ·You dried [L Did you not dry…?] up the sea
    and the waters of the deep ocean.
You made a road through the deepest parts of the sea
    for your ·people to cross over and be saved [or redeemed people to cross over; 43:16; Ex. 14:21; Ps. 106:9].
11 The people the Lord has ·freed [rescued; ransomed] will return
    and enter ·Jerusalem [L Zion; v. 3] with ·joy [singing].
    ·Their happiness will last forever [L Everlasting joy will crown them/be on their head].
They will ·have [be overwhelmed/overtaken with] joy and gladness,
    and all sadness and sorrow will ·be gone far [flee] away [35:10].

12 The Lord says, “·I [L I, even I] am the one who ·comforts you [40:1].
    So why should you be afraid of people, who die?
    ·Why should you fear people [L …or the son of man; C human beings] who ·die [L is given up] like the grass [40:6]?
