Isaiah 35:7

Then shall the glowing sand, become a lake, And thirsty ground—springs of water,—In the home of the wild dog—its lair, Shall be an enclosure for cane and paper—reed.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

In Context

6Then, shall leap as a hart the lame, Then shall shout the tongue of the dumb, For, there have broken forth—In the desert—waters, And streams, in the waste plain:

8And there shall be there, a raised way—even a high road, And the Highroad of Holiness, shall it be called, There shall not pass over it one who is unclean; But He Himself, shall be one of them travelling the road, And the perverse, shall not stray [thereinto].
