Isaiah 49:7-11
English Standard Version
7 Thus says the Lord,
(A)the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
(B)to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
(C)“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
8 Thus says the Lord:
(D)“In a (E)time of favor I have answered you;
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you (F)and give you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
(G)to apportion the desolate heritages,
9 (H)saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’
(I)They shall feed along the ways;
on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10 (J)they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them (K)will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
11 (L)And I will make all my mountains a road,
and my highways shall be raised up.
