⁸ Then your light will appear like the dawn,
and your recovery will come quickly.^(A)
Your righteousness will go before you,^(B)
and the Lord’s glory will be your rear guard.^(C)

²² Is there no balm in Gilead?^(A)
Is there no physician there?
So why has the healing of my dear people
not come about?

¹⁷ But I will bring you health^(A)
and will heal you of your wounds—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
for they call you Outcast,
Zion whom no one cares about.
