"The desert and parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of God.
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with a fearful heart "be strong, do not fear"; your God will come, he will come with a vengeance; with divine retribution. He will come to save you."
-Isaiah 35:1-4
