Isaiah 35:8

And a maslul (highway) shall be there, and a derech (road), 1 and it shall be called The Derech HaKodesh (The Holy Road); 1 the tameh (unclean, impure person [see Isa 26:7]) shall not pass along it, 1 inasmuch as it shall be for them, 1 that is, the Holech Derech (Walker of the Road, i.e., whoever is the [Redeemed] Wayfarer on the Derech HaKodesh), 1 even evilim (morally bad foolish people) shall not go astray thereon. 1

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
