Isaiah 35:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version
6 Crippled people will dance like deer, and those who cannot speak now will use their voices to sing happy songs. This will happen when springs of water begin to flow in the dry desert. 7 Now people see mirages[a] that look like water, but then there will be real pools of water. There will be wells in the dry land where water flows from the ground. Tall water plants will grow where wild animals once ruled.
8 There will be a road there. This highway will be called “The Holy Road.” Evil people will not be allowed to walk on that road. No fools[b] will walk on it. Only good people will walk there.

Isaiah 35:6-8
New International Version
6 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.
7 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.
