And the btongue of the dumb sing.
For cwaters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In athe habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
bThe unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And bsorrow and sighing shall flee away.
No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for Isaiah 35:8.
Isaiah 35:8-10
So the highway is the path for the righteous travelers leading from the wilderness of suffering to Jerusalem. It is discovered by following God; only the redeemed will travel God's highway, His highway of holiness. These travelers will be protected from wicked travelers and harmful animals on their way. And God is preparing a way for His people to travel home, and He will walk with us. He never stops pointing the way for us, and He is always beside us as we go.
Isaiah 35:8-9
There is a certain path—a certain way. In this case, he calls it "a highway" in which those who are close to God are going to walk. We find in Isaiah 58 that God said, "Take care—pay attention to your way."
