What does Isaiah 35:2 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
2. glory of Lebanon--its ornament, namely, its cedars (Is 10:34). excellency of Carmel--namely, its beauty. Sharon--famed for its fertility. see ... glory of the Lord ... excellency--(Is 40:5, 9). While the wilderness which had neither "glory" nor "excellency" shall have both "given to it," the Lord shall have all the "glory" and "excellency" ascribed to Him, not to the transformed wilderness (Mt 5:16).
