3. Strengthen the weak hands,steady the shaking knees!
4. Say to the cowardly:“Be strong; do not fear!Here is your God; vengeance is coming. God’s retribution is coming; He will save you.”
5. Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6. Then the lame will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy, for water will gush in the wilderness,and streams in the desert;
7. the parched ground will become a pool of water,and the thirsty land springs of water. In the haunt of jackals, in their lairs,there will be grass, reeds, and papyrus.
