Isaiah 35:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ A wide road will go through the land.
    It will be called the Way of Holiness.
    Only those who lead a holy life can use it.
    “Unclean” and foolish people can’t walk on it.
⁹ No lions will use it.
    No hungry wild animals will be on it.
    None of them will be there.
Only people who have been set free will walk on it.
¹⁰     Those the Lord has saved will return to their land.
They will sing as they enter the city of Zion.
    Joy that lasts forever will be
    like beautiful crowns on their heads.
They will be filled with gladness and joy.
    Sorrow and sighing will be gone.
