35:6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,
the mute tongue will shout for joy;
for water will flow 1 in the desert,
streams in the wilderness. 2
45:23 I solemnly make this oath 3 –
what I say is true and reliable: 4
‘Surely every knee will bow to me,
every tongue will solemnly affirm; 5
57:4 At whom are you laughing?
At whom are you opening your mouth
and sticking out your tongue?
You are the children of rebels,
the offspring of liars, 6
59:3 For your hands are stained with blood
and your fingers with sin;
your lips speak lies,
your tongue utters malicious words.
