Isaiah 35:1-10 is full of material which forms direct parallels to the events on the Tsavo Highway in Halo 3.  Specifically verses 4-10 which read,<br>''"4 say to those with fearful hearts; Be strong, do not fear; [[John-117|your God]] will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you;<br>5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.<br>6 Then will the lames leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.<br>7 The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where [[jackals]] once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.<br>8 And a [[Portal|highway]] will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; [[Covenant|wicked fools]] will not go about on it.<br>9 No [[Flood|lion]] will be there, nor will any [[Brute|ferocious beast]] get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the [[Elites|redeemed]] will walk there,<br>10 and the [[Humans|ransomed]] of the [[Forerunner|Lord]] will return. They will enter [[Voi|Zion]] with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and [[Truth|sorrow and sighing]] will flee away."''<br>
