Isaiah 49:8-13 - Yahweh Restores The Afflicted

⁸ Thus, saith Yahweh - In a time of acceptance, have I answered thee, In a day of salvation, have I helped thee, - That I may preserve thee And give thee as the covenant of a people, To establish the land, To bring into possession the desolate heritages; ⁹ Saying To them who are hound Go forth, To them who are in darkness, Shew yourselves, - By the roads, shall they graze, And on all bare places, shall be their pasture: ¹⁰ They shall neither hunger, nor thirst, Nor shall smite them the glowing sand, or the glaring sun, - For, he that hath compassion upon them, will lead them, And unto springs of water, will he conduct them. ¹¹ Then will I make of all my mountains, a road, And my highways, shall be upraised. ¹² Lo! these, from afar, shall come in, - And lo! these, from the North and from the West, And these, from the land of Sinim.

¹³ Shout in triumph - O heavens! And exult - O earth! And break forth, ye mountains, into shouts of triumph, - For Yahweh hath comforted his people, And on his humbled ones, taketh he compassion.
