And a highway(A) will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;(B)
    it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean(C) will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion(D) will be there,
    nor any ravenous beast;(E)
    they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed(F) will walk there,
10     and those the Lord has rescued(G) will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;(H)
    everlasting joy(I) will crown their heads.
Gladness(J) and joy will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.(K)
