Crippled people will jump like deer,
    and those who can’t talk now will shout with joy.
Water will flow in the desert,
    and streams will flow in the dry land.
The burning desert will have pools of water,
    and the dry ground will have springs.
Where wild dogs once lived,
    grass and water plants will grow.
A road will be there;
    this highway will be called “The Road to Being Holy.”
Evil people will not be allowed to walk on that road;
    only good people will walk on it.
    No fools will go on it.

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

And a highway(J) will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;(K)
    it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean(L) will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
