Say to people who are ·frightened [anxious; L hasty of heart],
    “Be strong. Don’t be afraid.
Look, your God will come,
    ·and he will punish your enemies [L …with vengeance].
·He will make them pay for the wrongs they did […with the retribution of God],
    but he will save you.”

Then the blind ·people [L eyes] will see again,
    and the ·deaf [L deaf ears] will hear [Matt. 11:5; Luke 7:22].
·Crippled people [Then the lame] will ·jump [leap] like deer,
    and ·those who can’t talk now [L the tongue of the mute] will shout with joy.
Water will ·flow [burst forth] in the ·desert [wilderness],
    and streams will flow in the ·dry land [arid plain; or Arabah].
