This is what the Lord says:
“At a (A)favorable time I answered You,
And on a day of salvation I helped You;
And I will (B)watch over You and (C)make You a covenant of the people,
To [a](D)restore the land, to give as inheritances the deserted hereditary lands;
Saying to those who are (E)bound, ‘[b]Go free,’
To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’
They will feed along the roads,
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)lead them,
And He will guide them to (K)springs of water.
11 I will make all (L)My mountains 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 Aswan.”
13 (P)Shout for joy, you heavens! And rejoice, you earth!
Break forth into joyful shouting, mountains!
For the (Q)Lord has comforted His people
And will (R)have compassion on His afflicted.

  2. Isaiah 49:9 Lit Go out

This is what the Lord says:

I will answer you in a time of favor,
and I will help you in the day of salvation.(A)
I will keep you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the people,(B)
to restore the land,
to make them possess the desolate inheritances,
saying to the prisoners, “Come out,”(C)
and to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves.”
They will feed along the pathways,
and their pastures will be on all the barren heights.(D)
10 They will not hunger or thirst,
the scorching heat or sun will not strike them;
for their compassionate one will guide them,
and lead them to springs.(E)
11 I will make all my mountains into a road,
and my highways will be raised up.(F)
12 See, these will come from far away,
from the north and from the west,[a](G)
and from the land of Sinim.[b][c]

13 Shout for joy, you heavens!(H)
Earth, rejoice!
Mountains break into joyful shouts!
For the Lord has comforted his people,(I)
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.(J)
