⁸ This is what the Lord says:
“At a ^(A)favorable time I answered You,
And on a day of salvation I helped You;
And I will ^(B)watch over You and ^(C)make You a covenant of the people,
To ^[a](D)restore the land, to give as inheritances the deserted hereditary lands;

¹² Behold, these will come ^(A)from afar;
And behold, these will come from the ^(B)north and from the west,
And these from the land of Aswan.”
