Yesaya 12:3

12:3 Joyfully you will draw water

from the springs of deliverance. ¹ 

Yesaya 35:6

35:6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,

the mute tongue will shout for joy;

for water will flow ²  in the desert,

streams in the wilderness. ³ 

[12:3]  ¹ tn Or “salvation” (so many English versions, e.g., KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); CEV “victory.”

[12:3]  sn Water is here a metaphor for renewed life; the springs symbolize the restoration of God’s favor.

[35:6]  ² tn Heb “burst forth” (so NAB); KJV “break out.”

[35:6]  ³ tn Or “Arabah” (NASB); KJV, NIV, NRSV, NLT “desert.”
