Isaiah 49:9-12

New International Version

⁹ to say to the captives,^(A) ‘Come out,’
    and to those in darkness,^(B) ‘Be free!’

“They will feed beside the roads
    and find pasture on every barren hill.^(C)
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,^(D)
    nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.^(E)
He who has compassion^(F) on them will guide^(G) them
    and lead them beside springs^(H) of water.
¹¹ I will turn all my mountains into roads,
    and my highways^(I) will be raised up.^(J)
12 See, they will come from afar^(K)—
    some from the north, some from the west,^(L)
    some from the region of Aswan.^[a]”
