The Restoration of Israel

Thus says the Lord:
(A)“In a (B)time of favor I have answered you;
    in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you (C)and give you
    as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
    (D)to apportion the desolate heritages,
(E)saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
    to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’
(F)They shall feed along the ways;
    on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10 (G)they shall not hunger or thirst,
    neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them (H)will lead them,
    and by springs of water will guide them.
11 (I)And I will make all my mountains a road,
    and my highways shall be raised up.
12 (J)Behold, these shall come from afar,
    and behold, (K)these from the north and from the west,[a]
    and these from the land of Syene.”[b]
