Flee from the Babylonians!
Announce it with a shout of joy!

Isaiah 35:6

the mute tongue will shout for joy;
for water will flow 3 in the desert,
streams in the wilderness. 4
Isaiah 49:10

the sun’s oppressive heat will not beat down on them, 5
for one who has compassion on them will guide them;
he will lead them to springs of water.
1 tn Heb “to the end of the earth” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV).
2 tn Heb “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.
3 tn Heb “burst forth” (so NAB); KJV “break out.”
4 tn Or “Arabah” (NASB); KJV, NIV, NRSV, NLT “desert.”
5 tn Heb “and the heat and the sun will not strike them.” In Isa 35:7, its only other occurrence in the OT, שָׁרָב (sharav) stands parallel to “parched ground” and in contrast to “pool.” In later Hebrew and Aramaic it refers to “dry heat, heat of the sun” (Jastrow 1627 s.v.). Here it likely has this nuance and forms a hendiadys with “sun.”
