Isaiah 35:9-10
New English Translation
9 No lions will be there,
no ferocious wild animals will be on it[a]—
they will not be found there.
Those delivered from bondage will travel on it,
10 those whom the Lord has ransomed will return that way.[b]
They will enter Zion with a happy shout.
Unending joy will crown them,[c]
happiness and joy will overwhelm[d] them;
grief and suffering will disappear.[e]
