Isaiah 49:8-13

Amplified Bible

⁸ 
This is what the Lord says,
“In a ^[a]favorable time I have answered You,
And in a day of salvation I have helped You;
And I will keep watch over You and give You for a covenant of the people,
To restore the land [from its present state of ruin] and to apportion and give as inheritances the deserted hereditary lands,^(A)
9 
Saying to those who are bound and captured, ‘Go forth,’
And to those who are in [spiritual] darkness, ‘Show yourselves [come into the light of the Savior].’
They will feed along the roads [on which they travel],
And their pastures will be on all the bare heights.
¹⁰ 
“They will not hunger or thirst,
Nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down;
For He who has compassion on them will lead them,
And He will guide them to springs of water.^(B)
11 
“And I will make all My mountains a roadway,
And My highways will be raised.
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 ^[b]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.
