Isaiah 49:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 Behold, some will come from far away,
others from the north and the west,
and still others from the land of Syene.[a]
13 Sing for joy, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth;
break forth into song, O mountains.
For the Lord has comforted his people,
and he will show mercy to his afflicted ones.
14 But Zion cried out, “The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”
