Isaiah 35:3

"It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon’s glory will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the LORD’s glory, the excellence of our God."

Key Reflection

This passage paints a vivid picture of divine restoration and joy. It describes how barren lands will be transformed into flourishing landscapes adorned with the beauty of Lebanon's forests, Carmel's fertility, and Sharon's blooming fields, symbolizing God’s abundant grace and the restoration of his people’s spirits. Seeing this glory represents not just physical renewal but a profound spiritual awakening, as they experience the fullness of God’s presence and excellence.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Strengthen ye -That is, you who are the religious teachers and guides of the people. This is an address made by the prophet in view of what he had said and was about to say of the proraised blessings. The sense is, strengthen and sustain the feeble and the desponding by the promised blessings; by the assurancesIsaiah 34:0that all the enemies of God and his people will be destroyed; and that he will manifest himself as their Protector, and send upon them the promised blessings.
