Isaiah 49:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Thus says Yahweh,
“In an (A)acceptable time I have answered You,
And in a day of salvation I have helped You;
And I will (B)guard You and (C)give You for a covenant of the people,
To (D)establish the land, to make them inherit the desolate [a]inheritance;
9 Saying to those who are (E)bound, ‘Go forth,’
To those who are in darkness, ‘[b]Show yourselves.’
Along the roads they will [c]feed,
And their pasture will be on all (F)bare heights.
10 They will (G)not hunger or thirst,
Nor will the scorching (H)heat or sun strike them down;
For (I)He who has compassion on them will (J)guide them
And will lead them to (K)springs of water.
11 I will set all (L)My mountains as a road,
And My (M)highways will be raised up.
12 Behold, these will come (N)from afar;
And behold, these will come from the (O)north and from the west,
And these from the land of Sinim.”
13 (P)Shout for joy, O heavens! And rejoice, O earth!
Break forth into joyful shouting, O mountains!
For (Q)Yahweh has comforted His people
And will (R)have compassion on His afflicted.
