  1. Hebrews 7:25 Or forever

he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
    to raise up the tribes of Jacob
    and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
(A)I will make you (B)as a light for the nations,
    that (C)my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

Thus says the Lord,
    (D)the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
(E)to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
    the servant of rulers:
(F)“Kings shall see and arise;
    princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
    the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

The Restoration of Israel

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

he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant(A)
    to restore the tribes of Jacob
    and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(B)
I will also make you a light(C) for the Gentiles,(D)
    that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”(E)

This is what the Lord says—
    the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel(F)
to him who was despised(G) and abhorred by the nation,
    to the servant of rulers:
“Kings(H) will see you and stand up,
    princes will see and bow down,(I)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(J)
    the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(K) you.”

Restoration of Israel

This is what the Lord says:

“In the time of my favor(L) I will answer you,
    and in the day of salvation I will help you;(M)
I will keep(N) you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people,(O)
to restore the land(P)
    and to reassign its desolate inheritances,(Q)
to say to the captives,(R) ‘Come out,’
    and to those in darkness,(S) ‘Be free!’

“They will feed beside the roads
    and find pasture on every barren hill.(T)
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,(U)
    nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.(V)
He who has compassion(W) on them will guide(X) them
    and lead them beside springs(Y) of water.
11 I will turn all my mountains into roads,
    and my highways(Z) will be raised up.(AA)
12 See, they will come from afar(AB)
    some from the north, some from the west,(AC)
    some from the region of Aswan.[a]
