CAP. XXXV.

1   The forsakun Judee and with outen weie schal be glad, and wildirnesse schal make ful out ioye, and schal floure as a lilie. 2   It buriownynge schal buriowne, and it glad and preisynge schal make ful out ioie. The glorie of Liban is &yogh;ouun to it, the fairnesse of Carmele and of Saron; thei schulen se the glorie of the Lord, and the fairnesse of oure God. 3   Coumforte &yogh;e comelid hondis, and make &yogh;e strong feble knees. 4   Seie &yogh;e, Men of litil coumfort, be &yogh;e coumfortid, and nyle &yogh;e drede; lo! oure God schal brynge the veniaunce of &yogh;eldyng, God note hym silf schal come, and schal saue vs. 5   Thanne the i&yogh;en of blynde men schulen be openyd, and the eeris of deef men schulen be opyn. 6   Thanne a crokid man schal skippe as an hert, and the tunge of doumbe men schal be openyd; for whi watris ben brokun out in desert, and stremes in wildirnesse. 7   And that that was drie, is maad in to a poond, and the thirsti is maad in to wellis of watris. Grenenesse of rehed, and of spier schal growe in dennes, in whiche dwelliden dragouns bifore. And a path and a weie schal be there, 8   and it schal be clepid an hooli weie, he that is defoulid schal not passe therbi; and this schal be a strei&yogh;t weie to &yogh;ou, so that foolis erre not therbi. 9   A lioun schal not be there, and an yuel beeste schal not stie therbi, nether schal
