Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
Then the lame will jump like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy. Waters will burst forth in the wilderness, and streams will flow in the desert.
God is promising a time when physical disabilities will be healed and barren places will become abundant with life.
