Chapter 35 of Isaiah—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad,
      the desert shall rejoice and blossom;
    like the crocus
  2. it shall blossom abundantly,
      and rejoice with joy and singing.
    The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
      the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.
    They shall see the glory of the LORD,
      the majesty of our God.
  3. ¶ Strengthen the weak hands,
      and make firm the feeble knees.
  4. Say to those who are of a fearful heart,
      “Be strong, fear not!
    Behold, your God
      will come with vengeance,
    with the recompense of God.
      He will come and save you.”
  5. ¶ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
      and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
  6. then shall the lame man leap like a hart,
      and the tongue of the dumb sing for joy.
    For waters shall break forth in the wilderness,
      and streams in the desert;
  7. the burning sand shall become a pool,
      and the thirsty ground springs of water;
    the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp,[a]
      the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
  8. ¶ And a highway shall be there,
      and it shall be called the Holy Way;
    the unclean shall not pass over it,[b]
      and fools shall not err therein.
  9. No lion shall be there,
      nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
    they shall not be found there,
      but the redeemed shall walk there.
  10. And the ransomed of the LORD shall return,
      and come to Zion with singing;
    everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
      they shall obtain joy and gladness,
      and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
