“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.”
The reference to the ransomed of the Lord returning, with everlasting joy on their heads, indicates that the restoration will culminate in the return of the redeemed to their home and the establishment of permanent joy. This verse uses the language of redemption to emphasize that the restoration is a rescue and recovery of those who have been lost to exile and oppression. The promise of everlasting joy indicates that the joy of restoration will not be temporary but permanent. The verse concludes Isaiah 35 with the vision of the restored community experiencing the fullness of God's blessing.
