Isaiah 35:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp,^[a]
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

⁸And a highway shall be there,
    and it shall be called the Holy Way;
the unclean shall not pass over it,^[b]
    and fools shall not err therein.
⁹No lion shall be there,
    nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
    but the redeemed shall walk there.
