Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 35:9-10

"No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]: and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." — Isaiah 35:9-10 (ASV)

Like frightened things. They kept us company for part of our journey, but when the Lord appeared, they took to themselves wings and fled away. We could not tell where they had gone. We were surprised to find that they had quite vanished. Oh! for the appearing of the Lord tonight to his mourning people who may be here.
