Livre d'Isaïe 35

Le Sainte Bible Fillion	NEW JERUSALEM
	1 Let the desert and the dry lands be glad, let the wasteland rejoice and bloom; like the asphodel,
	2 let it burst into flower, let it rejoice and sing for joy. The glory of Lebanon is bestowed on it, thesplendour of Carmel and Sharon; then they wil see the glory of Yahweh, the splendour of our God.
	3 Strengthen al weary hands, steady al trembling knees
	4 and say to the faint-hearted, 'Be strong! Do not be afraid. Here is your God, vengeance is coming,divine retribution; he is coming to save you.'
	5 Then the eyes of the blind wil be opened, the ears of the deaf unsealed,
	6 then the lame will leap like a deer and the tongue of the dumb sing for joy; for water wil gush in thedesert and streams in the wastelands,
	7 the parched ground wil become a marsh and the thirsty land springs of water; the lairs where thejackals used to live wil become plots of reed and papyrus.
	8 And through it wil run a road for them and a highway which will be cal ed the Sacred Way; the uncleanwil not be al owed to use it; He wil be the one to use this road, the fool will not stray along it.
	9 No lion wil be there, no ferocious beast set foot on it, nothing of the sort be found; it will be used by theredeemed.
	10 For those whom Yahweh has ransomed wil return, they will come to Zion shouting for joy, their headscrowned with joy unending; rejoicing and gladness wil escort them and sorrow and sighing wil take flight.
