**The wilderness, &c** .: i.e. the land of Edom referred to in [Isaiah 34:9-16](../../../kjv/isaiah/34/9-16) . While Edom becomes a waste, the Land becomes a paradise; and the way of the return thither a peaceful highway.
**shall be glad for them** = shall rejoice over them.
**them:** i.e. the noisome creatures of [Isaiah 34:14-16](../../../kjv/isaiah/34/14-16) , &c.
**and** = but; giving the contrast.
**the desert shall rejoice, and blossom, & c.** The description in this chapter leaves little to be interpreted. It requires only to be *believed.* No amount of spiritual blessing through the preaching of the Gospal can produce these physical miracles.

**Strengthen, &c.** Quoted in [Hebrews 12:11](../../../kjv/hebrews/12/11) , [Hebrews 12:12](../../../kjv/hebrews/12/12) .

**Then the eyes, &c.** When Messiah came, *these* miracles (not miracles *qua* miracles) were the evidence that He had indeed come to save His People ([Matthew 11:1-6](../../../kjv/matthew/11/1-6) ), but they rejected Him. Hence, this with other similar prophecies are in abeyance. John had based his own claims on [Isaiah 40:3](../../../kjv/isaiah/40/3) , while the Lord based His claims on [Isaiah 35:5-6](../../../kjv/isaiah/35/5-6) .

**highway.** See note on [Isaiah 7:3](../../../kjv/isaiah/7/3) . Occurs only here.
**The way, &c.** = the holy road.
**but, &c.** : i.e. yet for those very persons it will exist.
**err therein** = go astray.

**No lion shall be there, &c.** Reference to Pentateuch ([Leviticus 26:6](../../../kjv/leviticus/26/6) ). App-92 .

**their heads.** Put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of Part), for themselves.
**sighing** . See note on [Isaiah 21:2](../../../kjv/isaiah/21/2) .[Isaiah 40](../../../kjv/isaiah/40) takes up this theme, after the historical episode of Isaiah 36-39, which is necessary for the understanding of the references to the Assyrian invasion. For the general notes on this chapter see notes on [2 Kings 18:13](../../../kjv/2-kings/18/13) , [2 Kings 20:19](../../../kjv/2-kings/20/19) .
