Isaiah 35:8

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it.

From Background Notes [BN] for the weekend of November 30^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The language of 35:8-10 emphasizes the safety of this highway (no lion found there) and the purity of this way (no unclean will journey on it). How is such a perfect path possible? The answer lies in the statement, “Only the redeemed will walk there.”

When God opens up the road, He redeems those who walk on it. Something wonderful happens to those walk on this Way: they experience redemption. The underlying Hebrew word is gā’l. God is the redeemer, and what the prophet foresees is the coming of the Redeemer down the Way of Holiness — the road that makes holy. [BN,5]
