Isaiah 35:5-8
New King James Version
5 Then the (A)eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And (B)the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then the (C)lame shall leap like a deer,
And the (D)tongue of the dumb sing.
For (E)waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In (F)the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 A (G)highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
(H)The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.

Isaiah 35:5-8
New American Standard Bible
5 Then the (A)eyes of those who are blind will be opened,
And the ears of those who are deaf will be unstopped.
6 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.
7 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.
8 (G)A highway will be there, (H)a roadway,
And it will be called the Highway of (I)Holiness.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for the one who walks that way,
And (J)fools will not wander on it.

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

For waters will break forth in the wilderness
And streams in the desert.(A)

And the burning sand (mirage) will become a pool [of water]
And the thirsty ground springs of water;
In the haunt of jackals, [a]where they lay resting,
Grass becomes reeds and [b]rushes.

A highway will be there, and a roadway;
And it will be called the Holy Way.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for those who walk on the way [the redeemed];
And fools will not wander on it.
