The Liberation and Restoration of Zion
8 Thus says the Lord:
In a time of favor I answer you,[a]
on the day of salvation I help you;
I form you and set you
as a covenant for the people,
To restore the land
and allot the devastated heritages,(A)
9 To say to the prisoners: Come out!
To those in darkness: Show yourselves!
Along the roadways they shall find pasture,
on every barren height shall their pastures be.(B)
10 They shall not hunger or thirst;
nor shall scorching wind or sun strike them;
For he who pities them leads them
and guides them beside springs of water.(C)
11 I will turn all my mountains into roadway,
and make my highways level.(D)
12 See, these shall come from afar:
some from the north and the west,
others from the land of Syene.[b]
13 Sing out, heavens, and rejoice, earth,
break forth into song, you mountains,
For the Lord comforts his people
and shows mercy to his afflicted.

Restoration of Israel
8 This is what the Lord says:
“In the time of my favor(A) I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;(B)
I will keep(C) you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,(D)
to restore the land(E)
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,(F)
9 to say to the captives,(G) ‘Come out,’
and to those in darkness,(H) ‘Be free!’
“They will feed beside the roads
and find pasture on every barren hill.(I)
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,(J)
nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.(K)
He who has compassion(L) on them will guide(M) them
and lead them beside springs(N) of water.
11 I will turn all my mountains into roads,
and my highways(O) will be raised up.(P)
12 See, they will come from afar(Q)—
some from the north, some from the west,(R)
some from the region of Aswan.[a]”
