Isaiah 35:2

Isaiah 35:2

The Future Glory of Zion

1 The ^awilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,
And the ^bdesert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;

2 ^aIt shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,
Even with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the ^bglory of the Lord,
The excellency of our God.

3 ^aStrengthen the¹ weak hands,
And make firm the¹ feeble knees.

4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
“Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with ^avengeance,
With the recompense of God;
He will come and ^bsave you.”

glory of Lebanon—its ornament, namely, its cedars (Isaiah 10:34).

excellency of Carmel—namely, its beauty.

Sharon—famed for its fertility.

see . . . glory of the Lord . . . excellency— (Isaiah 40:5, Isaiah 40:9). While the wilderness which had neither "glory" nor "excellency" shall have both "given to it," the Lord shall have all the "glory" and "excellency" ascribed to Him, not to the transformed wilderness (Matthew 5:16).
