Isaiah 35:6-7

35:6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,

the mute tongue will shout for joy;

for water will flow ¹  in the desert,

streams in the wilderness. ² 

35:7 The dry soil will become a pool of water,

the parched ground springs of water.

Where jackals once lived and sprawled out,

grass, reeds, and papyrus will grow.

[35:6]  ¹ tn Heb “burst forth” (so NAB); KJV “break out.”

[35:6]  ² tn Or “Arabah” (NASB); KJV, NIV, NRSV, NLT “desert.”
