Isaiah 49:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹²
“In fact, these will come from far away;
And, lo, these shall come from the north and from the west,
And these from the land of ^[a]Aswan (southern Egypt).”
¹³
Shout for joy, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth,
And break forth into singing, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people
And will have compassion on His afflicted.

Promise to Zion

And my Lord has forgotten me.”
