Then the lame shall leap like a stag,
    and the mute tongue sing for joy.
For waters will burst forth in the wilderness,
    and streams in the Arabah.(A)
The burning sands will become pools,
    and the thirsty ground, springs of water;
The abode where jackals crouch
    will be a marsh for the reed and papyrus.
A highway will be there,
    called the holy way;
No one unclean may pass over it,
    but it will be for his people;
    no traveler, not even fools, shall go astray on it.(B)

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.
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.

And a highway(J) will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;(K)
    it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean(L) will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
