1 Ра́дꙋйсѧ, пꙋсты́нѧ жа́ждꙋщаѧ, да весели́тсѧ пꙋсты́нѧ и҆ да цвѣте́тъ ꙗ҆́кѡ крі́нъ. 2 И҆ процвѣте́тъ и҆ возвесели́тсѧ пꙋсты́нѧ і҆ѻрда́нова: и҆ сла́ва лїва́нова даде́сѧ є҆́й, и҆ че́сть карми́лова, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ лю́дїе моѝ сла́вꙋ гдⷭ҇ню и҆ высотꙋ̀ бж҃їю. 3 Оу҆крѣпи́тесѧ, рꙋ́цѣ ѡ҆сла́блєныѧ и҆ кѡлѣ́на разсла́блєнаѧ: 4 ᲂу҆тѣ́шитесѧ, малодꙋ́шнїи ᲂу҆мо́мъ, ᲂу҆крѣпи́тесѧ, не бо́йтесѧ: сѐ, бг҃ъ на́шъ сꙋ́дъ воздае́тъ и҆ возда́стъ, то́й прїи́детъ и҆ сп҃се́тъ на́съ. 5 Тогда̀ ѿве́рзꙋтсѧ ѻ҆́чи слѣпы́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆́ши глꙋхи́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ. 6 Тогда̀ ско́читъ хромы́й ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ле́нь, и҆ ꙗ҆́сенъ бꙋ́детъ ѧ҆зы́къ гꙋгни́выхъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ прото́ржесѧ вода̀ въ пꙋсты́ни и҆ де́брь въ землѝ жа́ждꙋщей. 7 И҆ безво́днаѧ бꙋ́детъ во є҆зе́ра, и҆ на жа́ждꙋщей землѝ и҆сто́чникъ водны́й бꙋ́детъ: та́мѡ бꙋ́детъ весе́лїе пти́цамъ, и҆ сели́тва тро́сти, и҆ лꙋ́зи. 8 И҆ та́мѡ бꙋ́детъ пꙋ́ть чи́стъ, и҆ пꙋ́ть ст҃ъ нарече́тсѧ: и҆ не пре́йдетъ та́мѡ нечи́стый, нижѐ бꙋ́детъ та́мѡ пꙋ́ть нечи́стъ: разсѣ́ѧннїи же по́йдꙋтъ по немꙋ̀ и҆ не заблꙋ́дѧтъ. 9 И҆ не бꙋ́детъ та́мѡ льва̀, ни ѿ ѕвѣре́й ѕлы́хъ не взы́детъ на́нь, нижѐ ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ та́мѡ, но по́йдꙋтъ по немꙋ̀ и҆зба́вленнїи: 10 и҆ со́браннїи гдⷭ҇емъ ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ и҆ прїи́дꙋтъ въ сїѡ́нъ съ ра́достїю, и҆ ра́дость вѣ́чнаѧ над̾ главо́ю и҆́хъ: над̾ главо́ю бо и҆́хъ хвала̀ и҆ весе́лїе, и҆ ра́дость прїи́метъ ѧ҆̀, ѿбѣжѐ болѣ́знь и҆ печа́ль и҆ воздыха́нїе.

Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
There are these words: "At His coming the lame shall leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerer shall be clear speaking: the blind shall see, and the lepers shall be cleansed; and the dead shall rise, and walk about." And that He did those things, you can learn from the Acts of Pontius Pilate.
Those, again, who declare that at His coming "the lame man shall leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall [speak] plainly, and the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear," and that "the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, shall be strengthened," and that "the dead …
But of our state there, no such word at all is spoken, but all the contrary; that "grief and sorrow and sighing have fled away." And that "men shall come from the east and from the west, and shall recline in the bosoms of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob." And that the region there is a spiritual bride-chamber, and bright …

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear: then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be distinct.
