KJV+
[1]The forsakun Judee and with outen weie schal be glad, and wildirnesse schal make ful out ioye, and schal floure as a lilie. [1]The wildernessH4057 and the solitary placeH6723 shall be gladH7797[H8799] for them; and the desertH6160 shall rejoiceH1523[H8799], and blossomH6524[H8799] as the roseH2261.
[2]It buriownynge schal buriowne, and it glad and preisynge schal make ful out ioie. The glorie of Liban is youun to it, the fairnesse of Carmele and of Saron; thei schulen se the glorie of the Lord, and the fairnesse of oure God. [2]It shall blossomH6524[H8799] abundantlyH6524[H8800], and rejoiceH1523[H8799] even with joyH1525 and singingH7444[H8763]: the gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall be givenH5414[H8738] unto it, the excellencyH1926 of CarmelH3760 and SharonH8289, they shall seeH7200[H8799] the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, and the excellencyH1926 of our GodH430.
[3]Coumforte ye comelid hondis, and make ye strong feble knees. [3]StrengthenH2388[H8761] ye the weakH7504 handsH3027, and confirmH553[H8761] the feebleH3782[H8802] kneesH1290.
[4]Seie ye, Men of litil coumfort, be ye coumfortid, and nyle ye drede; lo! oure God schal brynge the veniaunce of yeldyng, God hym silf schal come, and schal saue vs. [4]SayH559[H8798] to them that are of a fearfulH4116[H8737] heartH3820, Be strongH2388[H8798], fearH3372[H8799] not: behold, your GodH430 will comeH935[H8799] with vengeanceH5359, even GodH430 with a recompenceH1576; he will comeH935[H8799] and saveH3467 youH8686.
[5]Thanne the iyen of blynde men schulen be openyd, and the eeris of deef men schulen be opyn. [5]Then the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall be openedH6491[H8735], and the earsH241 of the deafH2795 shall be unstoppedH6605.[H8735]
[6]Thanne a crokid man schal skippe as an hert, and the tunge of doumbe men schal be openyd; for whi watris ben brokun out in desert, and stremes in wildirnesse. [6]Then shall the lameH6455 man leapH1801[H8762] as an hartH354, and the tongueH3956 of the dumbH483 singH7442[H8799]: for in the wildernessH4057 shall watersH4325 break outH1234[H8738], and streamsH5158 in the desertH6160.
[7]And that that was drie, is maad in to a poond, and the thirsti is maad in to wellis of watris. Grenenesse of rehed, and of spier schal growe in dennes, in whiche dwelliden dragouns bifore. And a path and a weie schal be there, [7]And the parched groundH8273 shall become a poolH98, and the thirsty landH6774 springsH4002 of waterH4325: in the habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, where each layH7258, shall be grassH2682 with reedsH7070 and rushesH1573.
[8]and it schal be clepid an hooli weie, he that is defoulid schal not passe therbi; and this schal be a streiyt weie to you, so that foolis erre not therbi. [8]And an highwayH4547 shall be there, and a wayH1870, and it shall be calledH7121[H8735] The wayH1870 of holinessH6944; the uncleanH2931 shall not pass overH5674[H8799] it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring menH1980[H8802], though foolsH191, shall not errH8582 thereinH8799.
[9]A lioun schal not be there, and an yuel beeste schal not stie therbi, nether schal be foundun there. [9]No lionH738 shall be there, nor any ravenousH6530 beastH2416 shall go upH5927[H8799] thereon, it shall not be foundH4672[H8735] there; but the redeemedH1350[H8803] shall walkH1980 thereH8804:
[10]And thei schulen go, that ben delyuered and ayenbouyt of the Lord; and thei schulen be conuertid, and schulen come in to Sion with preisyng; and euerlastynge gladnesse schal be on the heed of hem; thei schulen haue ioie and gladnesse, and sorewe and weilyng schulen fle awei. [10]And the ransomedH6299[H8803] of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725[H8799], and comeH935[H8804] to ZionH6726 with songsH7440 and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 upon their headsH7218: they shall obtainH5381[H8686] joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 shall flee awayH5127.[H8804]
