Isaiah 49:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 Thus says Yahweh, the redeemer of Israel, his holy one,
to the one who despises[a] life,
to the one who abhors the nation,
to the slave of rulers:
“Kings shall see and stand up;
princes, and they shall bow down,
for the sake of Yahweh, who is faithful,
the holy one of Israel, and he has chosen you.”
Yahweh Restores the Afflicted
8 Thus says Yahweh:
“I have answered you in a time of favor,
and helped you on a day of salvation,
and watched over you,
and given you as a covenant of the people,
to raise up the land,
to give the desolate hereditary property as an inheritance,
9 saying to the prisoners,[b] “Come out!”
to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves!”
they shall feed along[c] the ways,
and their pasturage shall be on all the barren heights.
