Isaiah 35:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵^(A)Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
    and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
⁶^(B)then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
    and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
^(C)For waters break forth in the wilderness,
    and streams in the desert;
⁷^(D)the burning sand shall become a pool,
    and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of ^(E)jackals, where they lie down,
    the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
