Isaiah 35:10

Isa 35:10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Ver. 10. And the ransomed of the Lord. ] Those happy ones. Deu 33:29

Shall return. ] To the Lord, from whom they had deeply revolted.

With songs. ] As they were wont to do in their sacred solemnities.

And everlasting joy upon their heads. ] As an unfadeable crown; 1Pe 1:5 ; 1Pe 5:4 they shall pass from the jaws of death to the joys of heaven. a

Joy and gladness, ] i.e., Outward and inward, say some.

And sorrow and sighing. ] Their joys shall be sincere and constant.
