Isaiah 49:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer^(A) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,^[a](B)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see, princes will stand up,
and they^[b] will all bow down
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel^(C)—and he has chosen you.”^(D)

I will answer you in a time of favor,
and I will help you in the day of salvation.^(E)
I will keep you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the people,^(F)
to restore the land,
to make them possess the desolate inheritances,
⁹ saying to the prisoners, “Come out,”^(G)
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.^(H)
