The Day of Salvation

This is what the Lord says:

“At the right time I will hear your prayers.
    On the day of salvation I will help you.
I will protect you.
    And you will be the sign of my agreement with the people.
You will bring back the people to the land.
    You will give the land that is now ruined back to its owners.
You will tell the prisoners, ‘Come out of your prison.’
    You will tell those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
The people will eat beside the roads.
    They will find food even on bare hills.
10 They will not be hungry or thirsty.
    Neither the hot sun nor the desert wind will hurt them.
The God who comforts them will lead them.
    He will lead them by springs of water.
