In contrast to the previous chapter and the desolation destined for the land of Edom, the prophet promises that the desert separating the exiles from the land of Yehuda will become a fertile and welcoming place. The prophecy describes three wondrous transformations in the future vision: the desert will blossom, the afflicted will be healed, and there will be a safe, unobstructed path back to the "Holy Land." All these miracles are intended to ensure the peaceful and comfortable return of all Israel's exiles: "Those the Lord has claimed will return arriving in Zion in song." (Yeshayahu 35:10)

Several striking contrasts between Chapters 34 and 35 emphasize the blessings promised to Israel: The land of Edom will become a wasteland, while the land of Israel will flourish and thrive. The vengeance that brought calamity to the Edomites — "For the Lord had has His day of vengeance" (34:8) — becomes a source of comfort for Israel: "here is your God, coming for vengeance" (35:4). While Edom will see streams of pitch (34:9), Israel will witness streams breaking across the arid plain (35:6). Where Edom will house creatures like: "it will be a jackal's, shelter, the ostriches' pasture" (34:13) — the land of Israel will grow vegetation: "In the shelter of jackals, where they lay: grasses, reeds, and rushes" (35:7).
