Commentary on Isaiah Volume 2 John Calvin
Chapter
Isaiah 35:1-10 1. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
1. Laetabuntur solitudo et desertum; exultabit locus squalidus, et florebit quasi lilium.
2. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the execellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
2. Florens florebit, et exultabit adhuc (vel, etiam) exultatione, at. que jubilabit; gloria Libant dabitur ei, decor Carmel et Saron. Ipsi videbunt gloriam Iehovae, majestatem Dei nostri.
3. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 3. Confortate manus remissas, genua labantia roborate. 4. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
4. Dicite eis qui trepidi sunt corde: confortemini, ne timeatis. Ecce Deus vester cum ultione veniet; cum retributione Deus (vel, Dei) ipse veniet, et salvabit nos.
5. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped:
5. Tunc aperientur oculi caecorum, et antes surdorum aperientur. 6. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
6. Tunc saliet instar cervi claudus, clare personabit lingua muti; quoniam effodientur in deserto aquae, et flumina in solitudine.
