Isaiah 35:10
8 And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it— only those who walk in the Way— and fools will not stray onto it.
9 No lion will be there, and no vicious beast will go up on it. Such will not be found there, but the redeemed will walk upon it.
So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
